Sarah Caine's Obituary
Sarah Elizabeth Burns Caine passed away peacefully on Wednesday, September 7, 2016, at the home of her daughter, with her heart fixed on the treasures awaiting her in heaven.
Born on February 5, 1922 to Gladys Powers Burns and Roscoe Clegg Burns in Wayne County in Rosewood, NC, she was the oldest of seven children.
She is predeceased by her parents; brother, Robert Burns; sisters: Mary Lee Branan and Jean Spivey; and her beloved husband, Elvin Wilson Caine.
She is survived by sisters: Gladys Holton, Frances Britt, and Dorothy Graham; daughters: Sylvia Lambeth (Tom), Barbara Delamar (Jay), and Terri Braswell (Dan); grandchildren: Lisa Lambeth (Scott), David Lambeth (Sherri), Jason Delamar, Brandon Delamar, Brian Braswell (Jami), Paige Farlow (Matt), and Justin Braswell; and great grandchildren: Thomas and Olivia Bachman, Maylea and Macey Lambeth, Bryson and Mia Braswell, and Madison and Haylen Farlow.
After growing up in Rosewood, Sarah graduated from Campbell College and moved to Lumberton, NC, where she met and married E. W. Caine. It was here that they raised their three daughters, until their move to Rocky Mount, NC after many years. She worked as secretary, bookkeeper, and office manager for the James E. Johnson Companies. She was a member of Chestnut Street United Methodist Church. Following E.W.'s death, she moved to Cary, NC, where she worked for several years as the secretary of First United Methodist Church in Cary.
Sarah loved family, friends, books, flowers, and endeared herself to friends and family with her avid appreciation for the lost art of letter writing and card sending. She always demonstrated a passion for detail and numbers with a meticulous accuracy in balancing accounts. Sarah can rest peacefully now. Her account has been balanced through her faith in Jesus Christ.
The family wishes to express gratitude to Terri and Dan for their selfless love and care during the years of her declining health, to caregiver Heather Townsend, and to Lower Cape Fear Hospice of Wilmington.
A graveside service will be held on Saturday, September 10, 2016, at 11:00 AM at Meadowbrook Cemetery in Lumberton, NC with Rev. Joe Bounds.
Memorials may be made to Lower Cape Fear Hospice of Wilmington, 1414 Physicians Drive, Wilmington, NC, 28401.
