Mrs. Sarah Long

Mrs. Sarah Long of Asheboro, North Carolina, passed away on Friday, November 21, 2025. Born on September 19, 1972, Sarah left this world surrounded by the same love she spent her life giving so freely.

A devoted wife, Sarah loved her husband, Arthur, with a quiet and steady tenderness that carried them through every season of life. Their bond was one built on loyalty, laughter, and a deep, unwavering love—a partnership rooted in mutual respect and shared strength.

Sarah’s heart belonged wholly to her family. As a mother and grandmother, she poured every part of herself into those she held dearest. Her children and grandchildren were her pride and joy, and she cherished each of them with a fierce, unconditional devotion. To them, she was a safe place, a guiding light, and the comforting embrace that made the world feel right again.

Known for her strength, dedication, and tireless work ethic, Sarah approached every day with purpose. She asked for little and gave abundantly—not for recognition, but because caring for others was simply woven into who she was. Her hands were always busy, her thoughts always on those she loved, and her kindness grounded every choice she made.

Yet it was the simple moments that defined Sarah most: sitting with her family, sharing stories, laughing until tears fell, or simply being present with the people who meant everything to her. These moments were her greatest joy, and they are the memories her loved ones will hold closest.

Though her absence leaves an ache beyond words, the love Sarah gave endures—a gentle, steady reminder of the woman who held her family together with her heart. Her legacy lives on in every life she touched, carried forward with love, pride, and immeasurable gratitude.

Sarah is lovingly remembered by her parents, Lane and Sue Kemp; her husband, Arthur Long; her daughters, Constance Grooms, Catherine East, and Destiny Long; and her grandchildren, Alistar Grooms, Annalise East, Eliza East, and Elias East.
