Sara worked for Southeastern Freight Lines for thirty-six years. She was a long-time member of Pelion Baptist Church prior to becoming a member of Northside Baptist. She completed Discipleship training at Pelion Baptist Church, which instilled in her the desire to witness and bring as many people as she could to our Lord Jesus Christ. She was an avid Bible reader, a wonderful prayer warrior, and loved to go to church. She was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother and always put her family before herself.

The Light family wishes to express their deepest appreciation to the caregivers at Senior Helpers of Lexington, SC and Three Oaks Hospice for the care given to Sara.
