Sara Cousins Sellers

Sara was originally from Wetumpka, AL but spent most of her life in Montgomery. As a young woman, she modeled for both A. Nachman and Wolf Brothers. She subsequently served on The State of Alabama’s Pardon and Parole Board and ultimately became its Chair. Upon her retirement, Sara enjoyed international travel with her close friends. She will always be remembered as a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. She was preceded in death by her husband, W. Allen Sellers, Jr.; stepsons, William B. Sellers and W. Allen Sellers, III; and is survived by her son, Douglas C. Sellers (Leslie); grandchildren, Douglas C. Sellers, Jr. and William O. Sellers; stepdaughter, Carolyn Pate (Jim); grandchildren, Jeffrey Pate and Elizabeth Marien (Jamie), several nieces and nephews, and her close friend, Renita Foster.

The family will receive friends Tuesday, June 25th at First Baptist Church at 11:00 am. A celebration of Sara’s long and well-lived life will follow at noon in Stakely Sanctuary.
