Sarah Lee Williamson

Sarah Lee Jones Williamson, the world’s most beautiful mom, fell asleep on New Year’s Eve, 2012 with no idea that she would wake up in heaven. But we all know she did because of her unwavering faith in her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Sarah Lee loved unconditionally, without expectations, and she lived out her faith each day. She is cherished by her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and countless close friends across the world from India to Cabo. When Sarah Lee walked into a room, her brilliant smile and boundless energy captured the attention of every person present. “Southern Charm” should have been her middle name. She had the voice of an angel, the words of a saint, and the grace of a dove. When she spoke the words “this too shall pass” or “Be still and know that I AM Lord,” which she often did, she comforted all of us. On September 30th she was born in Pilot Point, Texas to Mary Elizabeth Miller Jones and Samuel Lee Jones. She was adored by her stepfather James “Pop” Baxter. She was raised in Texarkana, Texas (on the Texas side, as she was quick to clarify) where she graduated from Texas High. Sarah Lee was a lifelong member of First Baptist Church Dallas where she taught Beginner Choir for 25 years. She was a Baylor Hospital Dallas volunteer for 20 years and a faithful Board Member of Disciples of Trinity in Dallas for over 20 years. Known as “Mal” by her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, despite the sadness felt by her family and friends right now, we all smile knowing that now she dances on the streets of gold. She is survived by: Children: Carmen Williamson, Mark Williamson, Robin Box, Sam Williamson. Grandchildren: LeeAnna Berry, Baxter Box, Bailee Box Pacholski, Libby Williamson, Jack Williamson, Alexandra Williamson, Haleigh Williamson, Abigail Williamson. Great-Grandchildren: Sloan Cassar, Bella Pacholski, Ava Berry, Brody Pacholski and Bea Pacholski. Viewing will be held Friday Jan 4, 2013 6-8pm at Sparkman Hillcrest. Life Celebration will be held 2:00 p.m. Saturday Jan 5, 2013. In lieu of flowers, the family request donations be made to the Children’s Ministry and First Baptist Church Dallas.
