Sara Kidd Allison, 78, of Chattanooga, Tennessee, passed away peacefully. Born in Rockwood, Tennessee, she was the daughter of the late Robert and Rose Kidd.

Sara dedicated over 30 years of her life to working at James F. Byrnes High School in Duncan, S.C., where she served as both secretary and bookkeeper. After retiring from Byrnes, she continued her career at Christ Church Episcopal School in Greenville, South Carolina, where she also made lasting contributions.

A passionate musician, Sara played the organ and piano for Lyman United Methodist Church and Duncan United Methodist Church for many years. She was an active member of Jones Memorial United Methodist Church, where her faith and love for her community shone brightly.

Sara was preceded in death by her sister, Sue Kidd, and her parents, Robert and Rose Kidd. She is survived by her son, Reed Allison, and her beloved dog, Cupcake, who was a cherished companion.

At this time, no services are planned. The family asks that you keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

Sara's kindness, generosity, and musical talents touched the lives of many, and she will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

Arrangements are entrusted to Cremation Center of Chattanooga. 1345 Hickory Valley Road, 423 362-5999
