A graveside memorial for Sarita Pool, 83, of Canton, will be held 1 pm Thursday, February 12, 2026, at Haven of Memories Memorial Park in Canton with David Mills officiating, under the direction of Eubank Funeral Home.
Mrs. Pool passed away February 9, 2026 in Grand Saline. She was born June 8, 1942 in Newellton, Louisiana to Perry D. and Una Lee Roy Luneau.
Sarita married Dan Norman Pool Sr. on November 21, 1958. She owned and operated Beks Florist in Dallas. Sarita and Dan moved to Canton in 1996 where she became a devoted and active member of Lakeside Baptist Church. Sarita enjoyed crafting, cooking, canning, hunting for treasures at garage sales, traveling—especially to the mountains—and spending time with her family. Most of all, she loved making sure nobody left her home hungry. She loved her family and caring for them so much so that she kept her three oldest great-grandchildren from their birth until they started school.
Mrs. Pool is preceded in death by her husband of 61 years, Dan Pool Sr.; her parents, Perry and Una Luneau; sister, Katie Meredith; brother, Larry Williamson; brother-in-law, Wayne Owens; bonus daughter, Joni Welch; and daughter-in-law, Sonya Pool.
