Sara Elizabeth Pickett (née Edwards), 90, of Chattanooga, passed away on Friday, September 22, 2023.

She was born in Chattanooga and was the daughter of J. Estil and Rebecca Edwards. Sara, known by her preferred name, was a sweet and kind woman with a gentle spirit. She was a devoted medical assistant, working for Dr. Woodruff Banks for 20 years. In her free time, Sara enjoyed working in her yard and keeping a meticulous house. Her home was her sanctuary. She and her late husband, Ralph, shared a love for camping out west every fall. Sara was a member of Red Bank Baptist Church, where she found solace and community.
