Sarah Porterfield Barnette

Sarah Frances Porterfield Barnette, born on June 18, 1931 and went to be with her LORD October 23, 2022 at the age of 91. She was preceded in death by her  husband of 60 years, Jack Clifford Barnette. They had 2 children, Cynthia Barnette Kelly  (Ken) and John Clifford Barnette, Sr. (Candi). Sarah had four grandchildren, Matt Ring (Stephanie), Jason Ring (Laurie Beth). John Clifford Barnette Jr.(Rebekah), Brittanie Brennan and (TJ). She had 10 Great Grandchildren, Azalee Ring, Arabella Ring, Braxton Ring, Adalyn Ring, Jackson Barnette, Sadie Grace Barnette, Elijah Barnette, Charlotte Brennan, Tristan Barnette, and Collins Brennan.

Sarah grew up in Comer, Georgia. She married Jack and lived in Colbert, Georgia, and later moved to Athens where she lived for the past 52 years.   Sarah and Jack loved the church and throughout the years she made serving with her husband an important priority which was passed down to their children. Sarah worked for several accounting firms, along with the University of Georgia Law School and Clarke County Accounting Departments.

Sarah was always involved in the Election Process. From the early 60’s until late 2018 she received Distinguish Pins and Medallions for Local and Presidential elections.

After Sarah’s husband passed away she later attended Alps Road Presbyterian Church. She was loved by so many in this Fellowship even though she was among the oldest. Often times she would talk of the generosity of many who would take time to speak to her at church, stop by her home or bring her church bulletins when she was unable to attend. This was truly the teachings of JESUS CHRIST being lived out among the FELLOWSHIP. This testimony of Alps Road Presbyterian Church encouraged our mother, Sarah.

In lieu of flowers, the family would request a donation to Alps Road Presbyterian Church.

Funeral services will be Wednesday, October 26, 2022 at 2:00 pm at Lord and Stephens, East. Interment will follow in the Colbert Cemetery. The family will receive friends prior to the service from 12:00 until 2:00 pm at the funeral home.

Lord and Stephens, East is in charge of arrangements.
