Sara Shirley Addy

A private graveside memorial was held on January 12, 2023 at St. Stephen’s Lutheran Church cemetery, presided over by Pastor Lance Henderson of Our Saviour Lutheran Church in West Columbia.

Sara was the daughter of the late Charlie G. Shirley and Bertha Howard Shirley. She was born on January 4, 1936 in Anderson, SC and moved with her family to North Charleston, SC when she was three years old.

She was a graduate of North Charleston High School and attended Palmer College in Charleston.

Sara was retired from the Lexington Medical Center in West Columbia. She met the “love of her life”, Major Henry M. Addy (retired, deceased) and they celebrated 59 years of marriage.

In Sara’s younger years, she was a gifted athlete, playing fast pitch softball well into her 30s. Sara also loved dancing, cooking, travelling and most of all, Sara loved her family. A woman of grace and dignity, her kindness and generosity were unparalleled, leaving her family with beautiful memories.

Sara’s family would like to thank Lighthouse Hospice Group and Assisting Hands Home Care.

Exodus 20:12 “Honor your father and your mother.”
