Sarah Traywick Garrison

Sarah Traywick Garrison, 59, of Morganton departed this life on Saturday, February 23, 2019. Born in Stanly County, NC on May 28, 1959, she was the daughter of the late Lloyd Traywick and Betty Deckelmayer Traywick. Sarah was a member of Burkemont Baptist Church where she enjoyed singing in the choir and had been a youth leader. She formerly attended Hopewell Baptist Church where she also sang in the choir and was a youth leader. Sarah worked at RPM Wood Finishing Group for nearly twenty years. She loved her grandchildren and was a voracious reader and passionate cook. She was a selfless, generous soul who went out of her way to care for everyone she met.
