Sarah Dewitt Jaillette

Sarah DeWitt Jaillette passed away on Monday, July 26, 2021 after an illness. Sarah was born on October 13, 1948 to the late Mr. and Mrs. William Ernest DeWitt in Darlington. She was married to the love of her life, Harold "Hoss" Prentiss Jaillette, Jr., for 53 years. Her love for God, family and friends was immensely evident to all that knew her. She was a beloved wife, mother, sister and grandmother of five, who lovingly called her "Memaka". She will be remembered for her love of cooking Sunday dinners for her family, weekly card games with her sweet friends, Sue, Susan and Gail, gardening and her lively and generous spirit. God endowed her with an incredible gift of artistic talent and she loved painting for her children.
