Sarah Katherine (Mann) Timms

Auburn Community-Sarah Katherine Mann Timms, 78, departed this life for her eternal home from her residence in the Auburn Community on Saturday, June 25, 2022.  She was 78 years old.  Sarah was born in Aberdeen on September 2, 1943 to the late John Osly Mann and Ruth Valeria Cole Mann.  She was the widow of the late Roy Timms, Sr. who died May 15, 2020. Sarah lived most all her life in Monroe, Lee and Itawamba Counties. A caregiver to the elderly, she devoted her life to others; her family, her community, her God and literally anyone who had a need.  Her heart was larger than life and her selfless spirit and lively countenance made her a treasured soul by all. She was a strong, independent woman to the very end.  Sarah loved gospel singing, was a great cook, loved her grandchildren but her legacy will be that of taking care of others. She was a member of the Harvest Time Church.
