Sarah Hailey Dunn, daughter of the Lord Jesus Christ passed away February, 9, 2021, at the age of 96. A Graveside Service will be held Monday, February 15, 2021 at 11am in the Elmwood Cemetery with Brother Randy Riggs officiating. Burial will follow with family and friends serving as pallbearers. Visitation was held at the Austin & Bell Funeral Home in Springfield prior to the graveside service beginning at 10:30am. Mrs. Dunn was born October 29, 1924 in Brush Creek, TN to the late Hugh Taylor and Roberta Gualtney Hailey. Due to her mother’s untimely death at a very young age, she spent most of her enjoyable times with her beloved grandmother, sister, aunt, and cousins. She married in 1947 and loved the home in Nashville that they built in 1954 and raised their family. Although very humble with her gifts, Sarah loved quilting and created many beautiful, cherished family heirlooms. It is also said that she had a natural gift for playing the piano. She diligently worked for South Central Bell in Nashville for 25 years and was a faithful member of Belle Meade United Methodist Church of Nashville. Known for her kind spirit, this “sweet young lady” was most intent on reading the scriptures everyday and praying for her family. She was a picture of God’s grace, and we praise the Lord for the gift He has lent us in Sarah. In addition to her parents Mrs. Dunn is preceded in death by her husband, Joe C. Dunn and sister, Marian Woodham. She is survived by her son and daughter-in-law, Steven and Debbie Dunn of Franklin, TN; daughter, Cynthia Dunn of Nunnelly, TN; grandchildren, Gail Frey of Boise, ID and Camille Dunn of Franklin, TN; and 6 great-grandchildren. Austin & Bell Funeral Home in Springfield is in charge of these arrangements. AUSTIN & BELL FUNERAL HOME- 509 WALNUT STREET, SPRINGFIELD, TN (615) 384-1000
