Sara was born July 19, 1933 in Lawrenceville, Brunswick County, Virginia, the youngest child of Erby and Mabel Seward. Sara grew up in Lawrenceville where she met and married Alton W. Malbon, who was at a temporary job in Brunswick County the summer they met. The couple then moved to Richmond, Virginia, where Sara obtained an associate’s degree in business.

Her interests included cooking, baking, arranging meals and entertaining; singing in a choir, sewing, traveling, reading, gardening and playing cards. She also had a special place in her heart for children and was a beloved friend to many over the years. Sara always tried to be active and helpful, and her perseverance showed in the support she gave to family members and friends her entire life.
