Sarah was born at Maury Regional Medical Center in Columbia and was raised in Mt. Pleasant. Throughout her short life, Sarah was always a very outgoing and loving person. As most people who knew her would tell you, Sarah could warm anyone’s heart with her beautiful smile. Her laugh was contagious and her love for life and people in general afforded her a host of friends. If you were sad, her entertaining spirit would pick you up. If you were lonely and Sarah was around, the loneliness would dissipate as she would welcome you into friendship. In her high school years, Sarah discovered her love for basketball. As her mother said, she ate, lived, and breathed basketball. Her dad proudly pointed out that she was a straight “A” student. A life cut short, but one who touched many lives describes her 17 years here on this earth.

In addition to her parents, Sarah left to cherish her memory three sisters: Grace Arrington (Ryan) Richards of Atlanta, GA, Danielle Marie Graham of Lansing, MI, and Brittany Renee Graham of Los Alamos, NM; her grandfather, Kinzie Barker of Decaturville, TN, grandmother, Cecile Pierce of Lansing, MI, Uncle Brent and Aunt Tracy Barker of Mt. Pleasant, TN, Uncle Sam Graham of Lansing, MI, Uncle Jim (Caroline) Graham of Pheonix, AZ, nephew, Tollan Anteau, cousins: Eryn, Rachel, Rebecca and Isaac Barker all of Mt. Pleasant, TN; and a host of friends.

Sarah was preceded in death by her grandmother Camille Bailey Barker and her grandfather Earl Graham.

Pallbearers will include: Will Kittrell, Tyler Tietgens, Tyler Holloway, Sam Curtis, Jared Wright, Coach Phil Willard and Coach Craig McGill.

Honorary Pallbearers will be the Summertown High School Lady Eagles.
