So sorry to hear about Miss Sarah.  I was in the hospital myself when she passed.  We built the house on Bethany that she lived in.  Did yall sell the house or do you own it and if so, is someone currently living there.

So sorry for your loss!  Many fond memories of Mrs. Sarah and Mr. Eddie. I bought my first car, a red ford capri from Cathy Banks and Cathy and Sarah were there when i was learning to drive a stick shipt.  Mr. Sarah worked at the real estate office with my mom when i was growing up; Mr. Eddie was our exterminator both at my childhood home then in later years at my office at work in Collierville; and my son's dad did much painting and handyman work for the Rutlands.  Praying for Mrs. Sarah's (and Mr. Eddie's) family during this difficult time.  I just learned of Mrs. Sarah's passing from a friend last evening.


Once (long after having moved away) we came back to visit Sarah and Eddie. Jack was in the kitchen raiding the refrigerator looking for cheese to snack on. Sarah laughed and told us she had kept buying cheese for Jack long after he was transferred away. Then she realized she had all these packages of cheese in her fridge that no one in her family was eating. We all had a good laugh about “the mouse” that had come home to visit.
We will always remember her laughter when she fell for one of Jack’s pranks, and she always fell for them. 
Sarah lived fully, worked hard, and loved much. She was much loved in return and will be greatly missed.  We know she was longing to be reunited with her beloved Eddie, and so she is.
In fond remembrance of Aunt Sarah,
Jack & Joan

We didn’t know Miss Rutland very long.  We live in the neighborhood.  I shared my fresh Turnip greens with her which she greatly appreciated.  My wife, and granddaughter stopped by just last week.  She said she was getting ready for Christmas and going through her jewelry to give to her grandchildren.  I think she had a premonition , she shared how much she missed her husband.  Sorry for you loss, she was a very nice person.  We will miss her too.  

I will never forget the love and the many kindnesses you showed to me and to my family-what a blessing you were to us!  So many great memories of serving in church together and all the fun times we had. You filled a lonely place in my heart and you will be missed.   Love and prayers to the family, Sandi
