Sara Elizabeth "Betty" Bragg, 91, of Savannah, passed on to glory,Friday, November 1, 2019 at her home at Rivers Edge Retirement Community.
Betty was born outside Daisy, Ga in the Antioch Community of Evans County.
She was a graduate of Claxton High School. Betty worked as a Legal Secretary for many years before becoming a Kindergarten Teacher at Calvary Baptist Day School and Memorial Day School, where she taught for many years.
She was later recruited to come and start the Day Care at Memorial Day School where she worked until her retirement. With over 200 children, she could remember every child's name and birthday by heart, she loved them all.
Betty was a timeless Christian Worker and a servant of the Lord. She was devoted to her Church and to her many Christian Friends. She always had time to look after each and everyone who asked and some who didn't. She enjoyed spending time with her family and her church. Whether it was delivering food to the shut-ins or visiting someone in the Hospital, fixing a meal or taking someone to the Doctor or to get groceries or picking up medicine for someone or just to talk with you about your problems. She lived to take care of everyone. One of her Christian sayings was "you have to walk the talk" and she surely did. She never said no when someone needed her help.
She was a 75 year member of Calvary Baptist Temple, a member of the Ready Bible Class. She was a facilitator of the Lydia Wilder WMU, and she taught many bible classes.
Betty's greatest love was gathering her large family together at Christmas and feeding every one. Her parents were Freddie Carl Rogers and Leona Rogers, and her sisters were Winnie Barner and Jackie Adamson.
