Sara E. Proctor

Sara Estell Winkles Proctor of Sharpsburg, Georgia passed away at her home on Monday, August 31, 2020 surrounded by family. She was 87. Sara was born on November 2, 1932 to the late Peter Allen Winkles and Gena Cochran Winkles of Sharpsburg, Georgia. Sara was a homemaker who enjoyed being with her family and extended family. She grew up on a farm where she learned to plant crops, and preserve what you planted. She enjoyed making corn salad, pear pickles and all kinds of jams and jellies. She loved to sew. She made quilt tops and hand quilted them, baby quilts for new babies in the family and she also made her own clothes. Having a “bought” dress was a special treat. She loved to crochet. She made numerous scarves, shawls and toboggans for the winter months as well as baby afghans and crocheted baby animals. Sara loved to work with her flowers. She had a green thumb and as long as she was able she kept the weeds out of her flower beds. She rooted many plants when she wanted to have more of them or someone asked her for one. If you helped her in her yard you were going to do it the way she wanted it done or you would hear about it. Sara was a collector. She came from a time when you didn’t throw things away because you might need them one day. She collected a lot of things through the years but her prize collection was her cookie jars. She looked forward to getting new ones through the years and had shelves built in four rooms to display them all. She loved spending time with her family, grandchildren and great grandchildren and extended family. She enjoyed cooking and getting everyone together to eat. She always made plenty of pictures so she was able to look back on the special times she had with all. She was a member of Rock Springs Baptist Church formed by her forefathers where she was saved and baptized at age 15 and whether or not she was able to go she always sent in her tithes.
