Sarah Grant (Bolivar)'s Obituary
Sarah Ruth Grant passed into the arms of her Savior on Thursday April 3rd at Mercy Hospital in Springfield, MO, eleven days before her 93rd birthday. God granted her birthday wish to be celebrating in Heaven with the love of her life, Joe Grant.
Sarah was born April 14, 1932, in Jonesboro Arkansas to William Albert Lee (Pete) and Iva May (Gamble) Cook. She grew up with older brothers Mavrick and Marvin and younger brother Vance Cook, graduating from Jonesboro High School in 1950. She told many stories of a great childhood in a loving home being spoiled as the only girl. All three of her brothers passed before her.
Joe and Sarah met and married after first marriages failed them and spent 41 years together on the family farm in Morrisville MO hosting many years of family holiday gatherings until Joe passed on September 18, 2018. Sarah moved to Springfield and loved her time at the Waterford at Ironbridge until her sudden health decline on April 2nd. She was cherished by her family and caregivers and her precious companion dog Tootie.
Sarah is survived by her three children Judy Stainback, Susan Towner and Mike Jones. Seven grandchildren: Eric, Ryan, Keith, Sarah, Laura, Stephanie and Katie and twelve great-grandchildren: Regan, Luke, Noah, Tyler, Carter, Haylee, Audrey, Ava, Colin, Benjamin, Remington and Ainsley.
While her family will miss her “sassy and sweet” love for us, we rejoice that she is with the loved ones who went before her, no doubt singing and dancing on those streets of gold.
Graveside services will be held at 4:30 PM on Sunday, April 13, 2025, at Morrisville Cemetery in Morrisville, Missouri.
Services are under the care and direction of Butler Funeral Home of Bolivar.
