A member of The United Methodist Church, Sarah was known for her gracious spirit and her remarkable talent for creating beauty and symmetry in all that she touched. Whether arranging flowers, decorating her home, or bringing order to everyday life, she found joy in making the world around her a more harmonious place.
Sarah is survived by her loving husband, Edward Porter Armstrong; sons, Ned Armstrong and John Armstrong; daughter, Susan Rasmussen; brother, Fred Butler; grandchildren, Garrett Taylor Rasmussen and Caroline Armstrong; great-grandson, Julian; and her beloved cat, Toby.
