Sara Weidenback was born in Gordo, Ala. Growing up on a farm she learned how to work hard at an early age. Throughout her life, she worked at the paper mill, a florist, KFC, and sales promotions in grocery stores throughout Tuscaloosa County. She was a devoted wife and mother who was always there for her family with a sweet smile and kind words. She continued to love and support her family in countless thoughtful ways, but above all, she was a faithful servant of the Lord Jesus Christ. She embodied the verse "Love one another." She continually prayed for and always wanted to help others. Her generosity and hospitality were known to many. She showed God's lovingkindness to all. We thank the Lord for giving us a mother, grandmother, sister, friend, and neighbor who loved and served Him daily and expressed that love to all she knew.

Pallbearers will be Thomas Lund, Tom Lund, Eric Andrews, Ron Springer, John Earl Hayworth, and Jamie Roberts.
