Sarah Epperson Treadwell Harris, age 98, closed her eyes today and stepped, or probably danced, her way into Heaven to be with her Lord and her beloved family who had preceded her.

Sarah was born in Logan, West Va. and moved with her parents and sister to Bristol, Tenn. in 1932. She was a member of First Baptist Church of Bristol, Va. She taught Sunday School to 16 year old girls and was an interpreter for the deaf, leading a deaf choir. She was actively involved in her community and social clubs in Bristol. Sarah was the mother of four children, two of whom have preceded her in death. After the passing of her husband, Bill Treadwell, Jr., Sarah later remarried and moved to Morganton, N.C. She and her husband, Ted Harris, joined the First Presbyterian Church of Morganton where Sarah was an Elder and Clerk of Sessions for many years. After living for 38 years in Morganton, she moved back to Bristol, Tenn. to be near her family until she moved into Brookdale Assisted Living in Bristol, Va. Sarah was voted Queen of Brookdale and was voted as President of the Brookdale Residents Association.

A graveside service will be held at 11:00 AM on Thursday, July 16, 2020 at Shelby Hills Cemetery in Bristol, Tenn. with Rev. Kris Aaron officiating. As per local mandate, face masks will be required.

Her family wishes to express their utmost appreciation to Brookdale’s Director and staff, and their thanks for the loving care of the kitchen staff and most importantly the ever present and devoted nurses and CNAs. Also their deep appreciation for the Caris Hospice Nurses, CNAs, Chaplain, Social Worker and office personnel who took great loving care of Sarah and her family.

Arrangements especially for Sarah and her family were made through Oakley-Cook Funeral Home & Crematory.
