Sarah Ann Banks was born July 2, 1941 in Tuscaloosa, Ala. She married the love of her life, Billy, in September 1959 and they were by each other’s sides for 62 years until she went to her Heavenly home. She dedicated her life to her family and her ministry, “Where Eagles Fly,” which would spread the Word wide, from the USA to Africa to Europe. Her vision and desire were to see souls saved and lives changed because of Jesus Christ. Her earthly presence will be greatly missed by her friends and family, but we all know that we will definitely meet again, and we rejoice for that day.

Pallbearers will be Tracy Scarbrough, Andrew Scarbrough, Adam Scarbrough, Mike Ramsey, Aaron Banks, and Noah Banks.

Honorary pallbearers are Amedisys Hospice, and doctors and nurses of Northport Medical Center.
