ENGLAND, Arkansas.

A native of Pryor, Oklahoma, she had lived in DeRidder, Louisiana for 20 years. She graduated from McNeese State University in 1994 with a bachelor's degree in Business Administration. She was a member of the Baptist faith.

Survivors are two sons, Michael Wayne Granger of DeRidder and Steven Thomas Granger of Lake Charles; one sister, Kathrine Langley of Carlisle, Arkansas; and her mother, Marion Rawls of Sherwood, Arkansas.

Note from Elizabeth Irene Goodman Hallowell - Our love and prayers go out to the family of our classmate Sara M. Rawls…. I have located Sara M. Rawls Granger's sister Kathryn M. Langley near Little Rock, AR and had the great pleasure of visiting with Kathryn on the telephone and have her contact information including e-mail. Kathryn has offered to let us glimpse more of Sara's life and I directed her to our web pages - will update in time- we look forward to staying in touch and learning more about Sara and her two sons. Sara apparently published her own current contact information in 1994 in the Davenport Community School District's Alumni Directory & that was my starting point to learning about Sara. At that time she was a returning college student in 1994 finishing her degree and graduating as Valedictorian of her class with a Business Administration degree at McNeese State University in DeRidder, Louisiana…only sadly to find out from her family that she passed away a year later from lung complications complicated by earlier polio as a child following a heart attack that year. Sara lived in Oklahoma, California, Arkansas, Iowa and Louisiana.
