Sara Martin Wolfe put on the imperishable and beheld the glory of the One and Only on January 31, 2020.  She was born December 21, 1935 in Bruni, Texas to Dr. John Alfred Martin and Ollie J. Wooten Martin and grew up in Batesville, Jonesboro and Cabot, Arkansas.

Sara had the rare combination of physical beauty that was eclipsed by inner loveliness.  She was quintessentially kind and friendly, regardless of circumstance or length of acquaintance, understanding those she encountered were, like her, fearfully and wonderfully made.  Her smile was her trademark accessory, and she was an instigator of fun and laughter, often at her own expense.

Love was Sara's theme, her goal for each day she lived.  She fed on God's Word – the Book of Love – and did what it said do.  She was intentional about caring for others, praying persistently for their needs and sharing her affection through encouraging notes, birthday phone calls and extending Southern hospitality with deliberate thoughtfulness. She spoke up for those who cannot speak for themselves, the unborn, while holding out hope to the young women she counseled in crisis situations.

Sara was courageous in the face of sorrow and challenge. Strength and dignity were her clothing, she opened her mouth with wisdom, and faithful instruction was on her tongue.  The fruit of the Spirit – love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control – was perpetually in season in her.

Today, Sara is reunited with her precious son, Graham Martin Wolfe, and is survived by those she loved more than life, her daughters, Lesley Wolfe of Beoue, Ivory Coast and Sara Liz Patterson (Mike) of Frisco, Texas; her "Sunshine Boys" Graham, Clay, Cy and Ben Patterson of Frisco, Texas and her sister, Jane Martin Odum of Mountain View, Arkansas.

Visitation and funeral services will be held on February 3, 2020 at 10:00 and 11:00, respectively, at Faith Bible Fellowship, 9800 Northbrook Dr, North Little Rock, Arkansas 72120.  Interment will follow at Mount Carmel Cemetery in Cabot, Arkansas.
