Mrs. Sarah Yates Walton, age 97, passed on July 5, 2018.

The funeral service will be held at 11:00 A.M., Friday, July 13, 2018 at the Union Tabernacle Baptist Church, Corner of Adderton and Magnolia Streets, Americus, Georgia. Burial will follow at the Eastview Cemetery (Family Lot), Americus, Georgia.

Mother Sarah Yates Walton was born on April 29, 1921 to the parents of the late Robert and Mary Jane Yates in Hawkinsville, Pulaski County Georgia. She was educated in the public schools in Pulaski County Georgia. At an early age, she gave her life to Christ and worked faithfully for the Lord until her death. She married the late Mr. Columbus Brown Sr. and moved to Miami, Florida. She later married Mr. Willie Walton and moved to Americus, Georgia, where she resided until her death.

She was the mother of seven children. Six of her children preceded her in death: Miss Sarah L. Brown, Mr. Vernon Brown (V.W.), Mr. Ronald Brown, Mrs. Anita Davis, Mr. Columbus Brown, Jr., and Mr. Willie L. Walton (Bubba). One daughter survives, Mother Johnnie Vaughn, who was her faithful caregiver until the Lord called Mother Walton home. She also has two devoted sons-in-law, Deacon Robert Vaughn, Jr. and Bro. Charles Davis; two devoted daughters-in-law, Mrs. Hazel Brown and Mrs. Patricia Walton. In addition, Mother Walton has several “adopted” children: Mr. Pat Bynum, Ms. Frances Bynum, and Ms. Betsy Bynum.

Mother Walton worked as a domestic housekeeper for the Bynum family for eighteen years and for the Austin family for ten years. She also worked at the Wild Street Daycare Center for over ten years as a caregiver for young children. She and her husband, Mr. Willie Walton owned and operated Walton’s Snack Bar for a number of years.

Mother Walton is survived by thirteen grandchildren: Sheila V. Moran, Stacey L. (Ricky) Towns, Carlton E. (Sarah) Zanders, Shonda (Mark) Reid, Teresa Stewart, Christopher Dante (Tachelle) Walton, Willie L. (Telesa) Walton, Jr., Kamika D. Bush, Whitley L. Walton, Kenyatta Thomas, Carolina Barron, Keyanna Nunn, Arthur C. Barron, and Carlton G. Maye (Patricia), a god grandson. She is also survived by thirty great grandchildren, fourteen great-great grandchildren and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

Mother Walton was the oldest member of the Union Tabernacle Baptist Church, where she served faithfully in many capacities until her health failed.

Mother Walton had a kind, caring, generous heart, and she never met a stranger. She loved the Lord, her family, her pastor and first lady, her church, and her friends. She had a sharp wit, a feisty personality, and she could always keep you laughing. Mother Walton had a number of people who were especially close to her and felt like a part of her family. Several friends who were especially close to her are Rev. Roosevelt Kee, Sis. Keena Clark, and Sis. Lula Laster. Ms. Linda Smith was her devoted nurse and caregiver until her death.

To family and friends my deepest sympathy for the loss of your loved one. Losing a loved one in death is very painful.
Almighty God Jehovah
(Psalms 83:18; God's name) promises that he will resurrect millions of people who have died.
Read Isaiah 26:19. "There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous."
Read John 5:28,29. What a wonderful time that will be when we will see our loved ones again right here on the earth! Learn more about Jesus Christ and how he will make God's wonderful promises come true at jw.org.
May the God of comfort and tender mercies sustain you during this most difficult time.
2 Corinthians 1:3,4

May Jehovah comfort the Walton family during the loss of their dear love one. We have memories over the years that will always warm our hearts but JEHOVAH promise us that he will swallow up death forever Isaiah 25:8.

To The Yates Walton Family, I am truly sorry for your loss. I know you have many wonderful memories of your time with Mrs. Sarah. When you reflect on the memories you shared they will bring a smile to your heart. I know this is a difficult time, but the Bible gives us a wonderful future hope. Revelation 21:4 says death will be no more. The Bible promises we will live in a world free of death. This is an awesome future promise made by Almighty God to obedient mankind. May you have peace and comfort during this difficult time.
