Interment will follow at Forest Lawn Cemetery, 3901 Forest Lawn Drive. Sarah was born on December 31, 1934 in Eden, NC to Willie Leroy and Sarah Pauline Weaver. Before becoming a wife and mother, she worked at Burlington Mills and Meyer’s Department Store in Greensboro NC where she met the love of her life, Sgt. First Class Special Forces Jesus Arenivas of El Paso, Texas and married on July 2, 1956. They settled in Fayetteville, NC where they raised one son Jesus Jr. and two daughters Augustina and Alicia. While being a wonderful wife and mother, she enjoyed painting and being involved with community service. After a move brought the family out west, she eventually retired as a Corporate Bookkeeper in Los Angeles County, Ca. before returning to North Carolina to spend their golden years. Sarah was a special lady with a kind and witty soul who was always ready to help others or make someone laugh. In her golden years, she was devoted to her family especially the little ones who continually blessed her heart.
