Sarah Finger Warren
former resident of
Kings Mountain
LYNCHBURG, VIR-
GINIA - Sarah Finger
Warren, or Honey as she
was known to her family
and friends, died in her
one hun-
dredth
year on
Decem-
ber 20,
2014 at
Westmin-
ster-Can-
terbury
after a
brief illness.
Sarah, the first child
and only daughter of Belle
Miller Finger and Freder-
ick Eli Finger, was born on
October 9, 1915 in Stan-
ley, North Carolina. Her
father was a member of
the first class to graduate
from the School of Phar-
macy at the University of
North Carolina and Sarah
was thus destined to be a
great fan of the basketball
and football programs of
her life.
Growing up in Kings
Mountain, North Caro-
lina, Sarah had wonderful
memories of her father’s
placing a radio outside his
drug store so that all might
learn of Lindbergh's cross-
ing the Atlantic and riding
her pony into the store for
an ice cream cone, Little
would she have been able
to imagine a life in which
she too crossed the Atlan-
tic by plane and the United
States by automobile,
Surviving Sarah are her
daughters, Anne Warren
Hoskins and Jane Warren
Davis, and their husbands,
William Hoskins and Wil-
liam Ashby Davis, all of
Lynchburg. She is also
survived by her grandchil-
dren Sarah Hoskins Boone
(Alex) of Atlanta, Georgia;
Lyne Hoskins Dempster
(John) of Raleigh, North
Carolina; Caroline Davis
Malott (Mike), Susannah
Davis Cox (Chad), and
William Ashby Davis, Jr.
the University for all of
(Elizabeth) of Lynchburg.
Sarah is survived as well
by her great grandchil-
dren Sallie and Hayden
Boone; Ginny and Hamp-
ton Dempster; Sam, Janie,
and Jack Malott; Gabe and
Corinne Cox; and Michael
and Ashby Davis.
Sarah was predeceased
by her parents; her hus-
band, Harry Calvin War-
ren; and her brothers,
Frederick Eli Finger, Jr.,
Carl Preston Finger, and
Daniel Miller Finger. She
is survived by their chil-
dren and grandchildren,
in whom she took much
pride. A joy in Sarah’s life
was the birth of a much
loved niece who bore her
name, Sarah Virginia Fin-
ger Hamrick. She is also
survived by her dear “cuz”,
Betty Neisler Timber-
lake of Lake Waccamaw,
North Carolina and Bev-
erley Taylor Vickrey of
Charlotte, North Carolina,
whom she thought of as
her third daughter,
Sarah attended Queens
College in Charlotte in the
midst of the Great Depres-
sion. At Queens Sarah
pledged Alpha Delta Pi
Sorority as did three of her
granddaughters at other
schools. Leaving college
before her initiation, she
was proudly initiated into
the sorority at UNC at the
same time as her grand-
daughter, Lyne. After
marriage she and Harry
lived in Houston; Texas
and San Diego, Califor-
nia before returning East
to Roanoke and’ then to
Lynchburg. A great pa-
triot, Sarah proudly wore a
flag pin on all appropriate
holidays, most ¢specially
the Fourth of July. She
was an eighth generation
Lutheran and the oldest
living member of Holy
Trinity Lutheran Church,
which she had served for
many years. Members of
the clergy and church were
friends Sarah held dear.
Sarah was a member
of the Oakwood Garden
Club and a former member
of the Lynchburg Wom-
an’s Club. She enjoyed
a good game of bridge
long past her 95th year, al-
ways wanting to play “for
money” and happiest when
she won. Current events,
politics, reading and most
especially college sports
lit up her life. Rarely was
she without an opinion.
Her family well knew that
if anyone could not re-
member an event, person
or date that Honey could
without fail. She loved
time at her daughter’s
cottage in Duck, North
Carolina where she spent
many summers with her
children, grandchildren
and great grandchildren.
Honey was known for her
cinnamon toast by these
children and the children
and now grandchildren of
her neighbors at Duck.
The family thanks with
great gratitude the staff of
Westminster Canterbury
for their love and support
to Sarah and to her family.
Centra Hospice and Drs.
Eugene Wolanski, Wil-
liam Kittrell and Angela
Brady, whose care en-
hanced the last years and
months of Sarah's life, are
also much appreciated.
Sarah Finger Warren
had a great life, enjoying
