Sarah was born in Gaylord, Michigan on May 24, 1912 and went home to be with the Lord September 20, 2014.
She was the daughter of Robert Lemuel and Christina (Jenkins) Evans, the youngest daughter of 8 children.
Sarah married Frank K. Holmes April 3, 1942 and he, as well as the rest of her immediate family, has preceded her in death.
She is survived by their two children, Christina Nelson of Boyne City, Michigan and Robert Holmes of Lansing, Michigan.
During her hundred plus years
of life Sarah graduated from Central State Teachers College now known as Central Michigan University. Sarah taught school in Gaylord and Lansing, Michigan, worked for the State of Michigan and did volunteer work at a Lansing Hospital as a Gray Lady.
She and husband Frank retired to the Boyne City area in 1970. She was a member of the First Baptist Church where she enjoyed playing piano for services.
In life she loved flowers, bird watching and exploring what was around the next bend. Later in life she found great joy in being wheeled along the Petoskey, Michigan area
bike paths. Always a lovable, caring and giving person who found such joy in simple things, she set a Godly example to all who came into contact with her.
