Sarah L. Vaught Willard

Sarah Louise Vaught Willard was born March 6, 1945, the beloved daughter of the late Albert Vaught and Addie Bellamy Vaught Edge; and stepdaughter of the late, Danny Edge.  She departed this earthly life to be with the Lord on Monday, April 27, 2026, in Columbia, South Carolina.
