It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Sarah Elizabeth Sanders Boothe of Savannah, Tennessee on September 5, 2024. Born on June 14, 1959 in Memphis, Sarah was a daughter of P. Layton Sanders and Sarah Perkins Sanders, who preceded her in death. As a child, she attended Hutchison and Auburndale and later The Mills School in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. She graduated from ECS in Memphis and attended the University of Memphis.
Sarah was a one of a kind, tenderhearted person with a loving spirit. She loved spending time with her family, and she was dearly loved by everyone who knew her. Sarah was very much a bright spot, with a delightful sense of fun and a wonderful sense of humor; and she will be greatly missed.
She was the widow of William W. “Butch” Boothe. Survivors include her two sons, Will Boothe and Brennan Boothe, both of Portland, Oregon, a sister, Zemuly Ruth Sanders and a brother, Joseph Sanders, both of Memphis, a brother, Layton Sanders of New York City and a half-brother, Steve Harrison of St. Petersburg, Florida, and a niece and a nephew. She is also survived by a dear friend, Katie Witham of Counce, Tennessee.
A memorial service will take place on Saturday, November 2, 2024 at 1197 Yorkshire Drive Memphis, Tennessee 38119.
