Sara Lyneigh Whitesell, 33, El Dorado Springs, died Wednesday, April 16, 2008, at St. John's Regional Health Center, Springfield, from complications during heart surgery. She was born May 1, 1974, in Osceola.
She grew up east of Osceola, and graduated from Osceola High School in 1992. She grew up in the Bear Creek Church and was baptized in 1987, serving as church treasurer and volunteering her time when needed. She worked as an administrative assistant at St. Claire County State Bank, where she was employed for 12 years.
Family was her main priority, and her boys were her pride and joy. Chad Whitesell, the man of her dreams and soul mate, took her hand in marriage Oct. 17, 1998. She enjoyed nine wonderful years married to Chad, and was the perfect wife. She felt her purpose on earth was to take care of her husband and children. You would be challenged to find a better mother.
She enjoyed nature and the outdoors, and especially was fond of her pets. She had been known to rescue animals and provide them a good home. She was a free spirit who had a gentle, quiet nature and a great sense of humor. She always was willing to open her home to family gatherings such as birthday parties and Thanksgivings. She always made everyone feel welcome and at home.
She and Chad enjoyed spending time with their boys, whether it be playing in the backyard or going on family vacations. She also enjoyed reading, shopping, hanging out with friends and family and organized everything. In fact, the slide show for the service was made easy as she had all pictures electronically organized by date and event.
Survivors include her husband, Chad Whitesell of the home; three sons, Jaycob, 15, Cade, 6, and Gage, 3 months, all of the home; her parents, Herb and Betty Garrison of Osceola; a sister, Gayla Carney and husband Paul and their three children, Nate, Kaylee and Drew, all of Stockton; her in-laws, K. Lee and Carolyn Whitesell of El Dorado Springs; a sister-in-law, Kim Ramage and husband Bill and their two children, Matthew and Alexa of Tulsa, Okla.; her grandparents, Harriet Redinger of Humansville, Nadine Curry and Howard and Letha Mae Howell, all of El Dorado Springs; and many other family members and friends.
Services were at 3 p.m. Sunday, April 20, at Church of God (Holiness), El Dorado Springs, with the Rev. Phil Fennell officiating. Burial was in Bear Creek Cemetery, Osceola, under the direction of Sheldon-Goodrich Funeral Home, Osceola.
Pallbearers were Paul Carney, Mike Wilson, Chad Biesemeyer, Bill Ramage, Patrick Garrison and Kirk Sibley. Music, "Amazing Grace," was by Danny Garrison.
