Sara Lovda Logue Schauer, age 87, went home to be with the Lord on Wednesday, August 19, 2020. She was born on July 11, 1933 to George Harris Logue and Ruby Hazel Anderson Logue in Warrior, Alabama. She is preceded in death by her parents; guardians, Jeff and Wilma Hughes; and her brother, Ray Hughes. She is survived by her husband of 65 years, Hamp Schauer; three sons, Doug Schauer, Mark Schauer, and Brad Schauer; her grandchildren, Daniel Schauer (Claire), Dennis Schauer (Melynda), Bryan Schauer, Joseph Schauer (Somer), Andrew Schauer, Mandi Schauer Sherer (James Michael); great-grandchildren, Lucie Schauer, Chloe Schauer, Austen Schauer, Sam Schauer, Timothy Schauer, and Emi Sherer; and sister Cherry Doyle.
Sara attended Mortimer Jordan in Kimberly, Alabama. She graduated from the University of Montevallo, where she earned her Bachelor’s Degree and the University of Alabama Birmingham, where she earned her Master’s Degree. Sara was a lifelong educator within the high school system; where she taught regular, remedial, and advanced high school classes. Following her retirement, she and her husband moved to Galleria Woods where she became the editor of the retirement community internal newsletter. She was also a member of the Bridge Club and an Ambassador at Galleria Woods. She was a proud member of the Dance Club of the Knights of Columbus.
Sara married her husband Hamp on November 20, 1954 in Birmingham, Alabama. They would go on to have 3 sons, 6 grandchildren, and 6 great-grandchildren. She loved her family and friends dearly. She made a personal goal to spend quality time with all that she could. Another goal that Sara achieved in her later years was to read her Bible from start to finish. She was very proud to add this to the list of her numerous accomplishments.
The family would like to express their thanks to the hospital staff, nurses, and doctors at UAB Medical West Hospital for their kindness, compassion, and going above and beyond in their care of Mrs. Schauer. We would also like to express thanks to the entire administration and staff of Galleria Woods. They quickly made this her proud home upon arrival and for the years following through their extra special care of all residents.
