Sarah Anne Lollar, age 17, won her fight with cancer on Sunday, October 28, 2018, in Memphis, TN. Sarah was born in Shreveport, LA to Anna Marie Bellotte-Stovall and Ronnie Lollar on January 26, 2001. She was a senior at Parkway High School, participated on the cross-country team and National Honor Society, and was a black belt in karate.
Sarah was diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma in March of 2016. She immediately began treatment at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, TN. Sarah’s bravery and strength throughout her treatments never wavered. She had visits from numerous family and friends while in Memphis, her favorites being with her friends Chloe and Christina or her cousins Eric and Hannah. She was able to take a Make A Wish trip to Bora Bora with her mother, Hannah and Aunt Tammie in August.
Sarah loved everything about the water. She loved the beach, and being in the woods in Avery, TX at the family farm, and fishing and swimming. Sarah loved to laugh, and was a great practical joker. She was athletic, full of spunk and was brave enough to try anything. She was a huge fan of video games and horror movies, the spookier the better. Sarah’s puppy, Molly stayed by her side throughout her treatments while she was in Memphis.
Services will be on Sunday, November 4, 2018 at 2 pm at Hill Crest Memorial Funeral Home in Haughton, officiated by Dr. Randy Harper. Visitation will be on Saturday, November 3, 2018, 5 – 8 pm, also at Hill Crest.
