Sara Eugenia Biddle

SARA EUGENIA BIDDLE Tupelo - Sara Eugenia Biddle, 66, passed away Friday, October 9, 2015, at the Green Houses of Traceway after an extended illness. She was born September 12, 1949 to Rev. John David, Sr. and Eugenia Hopper Humphrey. Sara's love for life began at a very young age. Many of Sara's early years were spent in Grenada. During her high school years, she was very active. She ran track, rode horses and spent many hours at Grenada Lake. She was voted the friendliest and was her class homecoming representative at Grenada High School. Sara studied at Millsaps College and her love of learning led her to take additional classes at LSU. During her time at Millsaps College she met the love of her life, Clyde Biddle. She was a member of First United Methodist Church and passionate about being involved in the life of the church. Sara worked with the youth group at First United Methodist and Wesley United Methodist in Tupelo. She was also a member of the FUMC choir. Sara had a great love for life and did not let go until the very end. She was a gracious and beautiful lady, inside and out. Every life she touched, she left a mark. There is not a person she met that she has not impacted. We celebrate her life with joyful memories of Sara's journey.
