Sarah Virginia Carr Browder, a 29-year-old woman from Advance, North Carolina, passed away on September 27, 2012. She was born on December 21, 1982, in Winston-Salem, Forsyth County, North Carolina. Sarah, also known as "Sassy," was a deeply caring and generous person who was quick to see one's best traits and to forgive one's flaws. Her tenderness and compassion towards others, animals, and people of all walks of life and generations were always clearly evident. Just within the past month before her death, Sarah saved the lives of and found homes for a kitten and a puppy, both of whom would certainly not otherwise have survived.
Sarah spent her childhood years both in Winston-Salem and Memphis, Tennessee. Her family brought her back to Winston-Salem when she was six years old, where she attended Sherwood Forest Elementary School and Forsyth Country Day School through grade eleven. She was confirmed at St. Paul's Episcopal Church when she was in the eighth grade. During those years of childhood and adolescence, she participated in many activities, including scouting and sports, was an avid reader, and an imaginative writer and artist. Her imagination and creativity were strikingly expressed in all she did, in her games and activities, in her clothing and appearance, and in the people with whom she surrounded herself. She became a skilled painter, particularly of portraits.
Sarah moved with her family to Paris, France, due to her father's employment, and graduated from the American School of Paris. Upon returning to the United States, she attended Appalachian State University for two years, after which she moved to Greensboro, where she was employed at Earthfare. She returned to school at Leon's Beauty School and had recently received full accreditation in cosmetology. Both while working at Earthfare and while in school at Leon's, Sarah worked as the "Social Media Princess" for the Family Health Network, a job which made good use of her computer skills, social skills, and compassion for the elderly.
Sarah was preceded in death by her husband, Kirk Walter Harris, of Advance, North Carolina, and by her paternal grandparents, George and Ethel Browder, of Rockingham, North Carolina. She is survived by her twin brother, Benjamin Alexander Browder, of Virginia Beach, Virginia, and her sister, Katherine Elspeth Browder, of Gainesville, Florida. She is also survived by her maternal grandmother, Dorothy Simmons Kirby, and her parents, Susan Kirby and George Alexander Browder, of Winston-Salem.
There is no information available regarding any arrests, suspects, litigations, murder, law cases, or investigations related to Sarah Virginia Carr Browder's death. The circumstances surrounding her passing remain undisclosed in the available sources.
