She was born January 27, 1928, in North Carolina and grew up in Virginia, Georgia, and North Carolina. Sarah graduated from Young Harris Junior College and later married George R. Patrick. They moved to Knoxville in 1952. She was first a full time mother and homemaker. During that time she influenced many young women through her work as a Girl Scout Troop Leader. When her children were grown, she worked for First Presbyterian Church as receptionist and after retiring, began a second part time career as membership secretary at Cedar Springs Presbyterian Church.
