Sarah Ann French Stone, born March 5, 1923, in Taft, Texas, passed away Wednesday, December 26, 2018, at the age of 95. Formerly a lifelong resident of Taft, "Miss Sarah" moved to Conyers, Georgia, in 1998, to be near her only child, Shelby Stone Griscom, who preceded her in death, May 3, 1999. Also preceding her in death was her loving husband, Shelby Stone; parents, Charles and Alice French; and sister, Charleen Flood.
Although Texas was never far from her heart, Sarah remained in Conyers to be near her family. A child of the Great Depression, Sarah and her sister, Charleen, loved the cotton fields of south Texas. Sarah took particularly good care of her parents and provided them with the love and attention they deserved. After 42 years of loyal service, Sarah retired from the Defense Logistics Agency. She believed in giving back to the community and was a longtime member of Toastmasters and the American Business Women's Association in Portland, Texas. Sarah relished her many friends and the travels they all enjoyed together.
Survivors include her grandsons, Tres Griscom and wife, Angie, of Covington, USAF Master Sgt. York Griscom of Fort Worth, TX; great-grandchildren, Mykal Griscom, SarahAnn Griscom, Kate Griscom, Shelby Griscom, Abby Griscom, Ross Griscom; niece, Vicki Patterson of San Antonio, TX; and nephew, John Flood of San Diego, CA.
