She had fought this courageous battle once before in 1984 and won, but this time God decided he needed another angel. Sarah was born August 15, 1928 to William and Lydia Betterton.

      Sarah was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother. She was a loving and caring woman who devoted her life to her family. Our mother rarely complained and always thought of others before herself. She made our house a home, was always there to greet us with a delicious hot meal and words of encouragement. Her holiday traditions and meals are forever a part of us. She was the root that held our family together.

She was a member of the Texas City Order of the Eastern Star 626 and devoted many hours to volunteering at the Shriners Hospital. She loved music and was a diehard groupie of Pee Wee Bowen.
