Sarah was born and spent her childhood in Lindale, Georgia. As a teen she moved to New Orleans, Louisiana where she met her husband Joseph. Sarah was a wonderful, caring, one of a kind person. As a lifelong homemaker, she devoted her life to caring for her family and her children. She loved her children and grandchildren fiercely and was very protective of all of them and supported them no matter what. Sarah loved the outdoors, reading, and animals, but she especially loved her pet Schnauzer, Schnaupps, absolutely to pieces. Her children often referred to Schnaupps as Sarah’s “Fifth Child.” Sarah had a great sense of humor, very often bringing a smile and a laugh to the faces of those around her. She had a way of simply bringing joy to people’s lives and she is going to be sorely missed.
Funeral services will be planned for the future, and the family will announce those plans once they have been finalized. Spring Hill Funeral Home has been entrusted with the final care of Ms. Sarah Berniard. 5110 Gallatin Pike, Nashville, Tennessee 37216. (615) 865-1101. “Where Nashville Comes to Remember.”
