Sarah Macklin

Funeral Services for Mrs. Sarah J. Macklin, 78, of Detroit, Michigan, will be held on Saturday, April 11, 2015 at 11 AM at the Williams Chapel Baptist Church, 1142 Georgia Highway 29 South, East Dublin. Reverend Brian Ashley will officiate. Burial will follow in the Laurens Memorial Gardens, Buckeye Road, East Dublin.

Mrs. Macklin, the youngest daughter of the late Arthur Wright and Lavader Rozier Wright, was born September 8, 1936. Her early childhood was spent in Dublin. She attended Oconee High School and joined the Williams Chapel Baptist Church at an early age. She moved to Detroit, Michigan, in 1955 in search of employment. She retired from the Transportation Industry after fifteen years of service.

Sarah loved visiting the sick and preparing her annual neighborhood soup. She also loved gardening, fishing, and playing with her golden retriever, “Sandy” before he passed away. She joined the New St. Paul Tabernacle Church of God in Christ in 1971. After serving faithful in the ministry and being saved for forty (40) years, Mother Macklin chose to celebrate this victory by serving dinner (which she both purchased and prepared) to the New St. Paul Tabernacle Church family. She also helped organize a very successful “Family and Friends Day” in October 2014. In earlier years, Mother Macklin sung in the New St. Paul Tabernacle choir and was President of the Nurses Guild.

After a brief illness Mother Macklin was summoned home to be with the Lord. She made her transition on Good Friday Morning, April 3, 2015. She peacefully and quietly transitioned to her new home, one not made by mortal hands.

Mother Macklin was preceded in death by her loving husband, Curtis Macklin; parents; and grandparents, Jim and Everline Rozier and Charlie and Mary Wright.

Mother Macklin leaves to cherish her fond memories: a sister, Arthurlean (Howard) Ware of Detroit, Michigan; three uncles, Billy Rozier, Eddie (Ruth) Rozier and Norman Rozier of Grand Rapids, Michigan; a devoted aunt, Christine Rozier of Dublin; a faithful god-daughter, Felicia A. Jackson of Southfield, Michigan; god-grandchildren, Lauren and Lynn of Southfield, Michigan; a loyal god-daughter, Ashley McClinton and special god-grandson, Jayron Jernigan both of Detroit, Michigan; a host of relatives, friends, and her New St. Paul Tabernacle Church family.

The family will receive friends at 512 Railroad Avenue, East Dublin.
