Sara, daughter of the late Dewey and Edith Pearce, was born October 12, 1934 in Columbia, Alabama.  While still attending high school, she worked at the Bradley Theatre.  After high school she then worked as a secretary for a large insurance company.  Sara then began a career in the restaurant industry and purchased Whitt’s Café in Columbus.  Later on, she acquired Evelyn’s Café, where she owned and operated for the past 49 years.  Sara enjoyed going to country music concerts at a young age, enjoyed solving puzzles, and visiting her family and friends on Facebook.  The family remembers her as a loving wife, mother, and grandmother – a lady who put everyone ahead of herself.
