Mrs. Sarah Greer McCullough of Decatur died Monday, February 22, 2010. She was born in Norcross July 27 1914 and spent her entire life in the Atlanta area. A big disappointment occurred when she was four years old. Her father and younger brother both died in the Flu epidemic of 1918. After graduating from Commercial High School where she made a letter in volleyball she attended evening business classes offered by the University of Georgia. With the depression being underway it was necessary for her to enter the work force. She was employed by several firms in office manager positions among them the Arthur Anderson regional office. Her last position where she spent over twenty years was with Larkin Coils, a manufacturing company in the refrigeration industry. There she became vice president treasurer and continued as a director after retirement in 1970. Sarah had a vibrant lively personality with a love of life and of people. Doing things helpful to others made her happy. During World War II, she did volunteer work with both the USO and Red Cross. As a lifelong member of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian church, she was active in all phases of its work open to women. One of her greatest joys was teaching Sunday School. At death she was a member of the Peachtree Comers Congregation. For many years she was an enthusiastic member of Pilot International a classified service organization for executive and professional women. She held positions at the Club District and International level. As president of the Atlanta Club one of her proudest achievements was getting the Mayor of Atlanta to designate a day honoring those unheralded women who protect our children by serving as guards at street crossings near schools. She is survived by her husband, Francis M. McCullough. Funeral services will be held in the chapel of A. S. Turner & Sons at 2 p.m. Thursday, February 25th with Dr. Randy Ruble and Rev. Rhett Carson officiating. Burial will be in Prosperity Cemetery, Chamblee, GA. The family will receive friends from 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, February 24th at A. S. Turner & Sons.
