Aunt Sarah, as she was called by many, lived each day as a precious gift from god, loved to work in her yard and plant flowers, enjoyed a good laugh especially when she would visit with family in California and often with friends and family on her front porch with a nice cold Pepsi. In her early years she was a member of Saint Mark C.M.E.Church and later became a devoted member of Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church for 25 years.

She is survived by her sister Willa Mae Johnson of Oakland, California and a host of nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents, William “Bill” Hobbs Sr. and Carrie (Finley) Hobbs, sister, Erma McGinnis of Battle Creek, Michigan, brothers, William “Bill” Hobbs Jr. of St. Paul, Minnesota and Albert Hobbs of Seattle, Washington.
