*August 2, 1951 – October 18, 2026*

Sara Jane Anderson, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully on Sunday, October 18, 2026, at Piedmont Medical Center in Cartersville, Georgia. She was 75 years old.

Born on Thursday, August 2, 1951, to Pearl Stansel Fortner and Charlie Fortner, Sara was a beacon of love and warmth to everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. She was preceded in death by her parents, her brother Junior Fortner, her sister Virginia Fortner, sister-in-law Barabara Jean Anderson and her grandchildren Justin Wilson and Michael Outlaw.

Sara is survived by her devoted husband, Tommy Anderson, who was her partner in life and love. Her legacy continues through her cherished children: Lisa Wilson, William Anderson, and David Anderson (Ashley). She was the proud grandmother of Elizabeth Anderson, Ruth Coleman (Nicholas), Jessica Anderson, Jennifer Anderson, Kayla Anderson, David Anderson, and Christopher Anderson. Her great-grandchildren, McKenzie Anderson, Addison Coleman, Nora Coleman, Emma Coleman, William Parrish, Everleigh Anderson, Jaxson Hyatt, and Kyleigh Heath, brought immense joy to her life.

She is also survived by her siblings, Kenny Fortner, Joyce Dickerson, Barbara Daniels (Mark), and Allene Self, as well as her sister-in-law, Starleane Boling (Jimmy). Her cousins, Tina Fortner and Marvin Fortner, were dear to her heart, along with dozens of nieces and nephews.

Sara's life was filled with simple joys that brought her immense happiness. She adored being a "Me-Me" and took great pride in her family, always cherishing the moments spent with them. She found delight in listening to music and enjoyed the simple pleasure of eating ice cream and scrolling Facebook for pictures of fairies and angels. A fan of soap operas, she never missed an episode of her favorite show, "Walker, Texas Ranger."

The family wishes to express their gratitude to Parnick Jennings Funeral Home and Cremation Services for their compassionate care and support during this difficult time.

Sara Jane Anderson leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and cherished memories. Her spirit will live on in the hearts of all those who loved her. She will be deeply missed but forever remembered.
