Miss Sarah was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother throughout her lifetime. There was nothing on this Earth she cherished more than her family, and she instilled that love of family into all of her descendants. She also loved to engage and spend time with her community at large. In fact, she spent most of early months of the pandemic in a sewing frenzy with her granddaughter, Ashley, to make and distribute masks to all those who needed them. She was also a dedicated member of Bethel Baptist Church for many years and was greatly loved by her church family. More than anything, however, Miss Sarah is going to be remembered by everyone for her remarkable baking skills. Her skills in the kitchen were unparalleled and she enjoyed not only sharing everything she baked with love, but also teaching others how to prepare scrumptious cakes and other delectable items. She will be sorely missed by all those who knew and loved her, but she leaves behind such a legacy of love that her memory will live on for years to come.

Miss Sarah was preceded in death by her husband, Milon T. Kidd; granddaughter, Sarah Grace Kilpatrick; parents, Gillis & Ina Phillips Walden; and brothers, Lomax Walden, James Walden, and Johnny Walden. She is survived by her children, Wayne (Faye) Kidd, Travis (Shelia) Kidd, Janice (Mike) Gafford, Judy (Greg) McGinty, Lynn (Jody) Kilpatrick, and Tracy Bradley; grandchildren, Sasha O'Neal, Shaun Kidd, Ashley McManigle, Daniel (Brittney) Kidd, Todd Gafford, Eric McGinty, Brad McGinty, Ashlynn Kilpatrick, Lizzy Kilpatrick, Isaiah Bradley, Ian Bradley, and Josh (Lesleigh) Kidd; great-grandchildren, Brooklyn & Mary B. O'Neal, Shelby & Taylor Kidd, Conner & Colin Kidd, Evie & Isabel Kidd, Abbie & Zoe McManigle, Lennox & Elijah McGinty; and sister, Carrie (Wayne) Aughtman.
