Sarah Jane Herron Minnix, age 72 of Buchanan, passed away on Monday, June 12, 2023. She was born on November 16, 1950, in Atlanta to the late James Robert Herron, Jr. and the late Mable Lillian Jones Herron.  Sarah retired from a career at Equifax in Atlanta, and then began a second career working for Polk County where she also retired.

Working was not all that Sarah did; she loved traveling, and her favorite mode of transportation was sailing on cruises.  She had embarked on more than 30 cruises in her lifetime.  Sarah was also an avid Bingo player.  But her passion was her family and she loved them dearly.
