Obituary for Sarah Rose Million FORT WORTH – Our beloved Sarah Rose Million passed away tragically on Sunday, Sept. 23, 2018. Her life was one of selflessness, loyalty, kindness, and curiosity.
Sarah Rose was born with her eyes wide open to the world on July 19, 1993. As a young child, she loved Fort Worth Museum School, UCC Preschool and Sunday school at Broadway Baptist Church. She attended elementary school at Lily B. Clayton in her cozy, friendly neighborhood of Berkeley Place.
These were very happy years where she would make lifelong friends and have amazing teachers who would encourage her love of learning. Each year, she looked forward to Invention Convention, History Fair and Science Fair. While at Sweet Lily B, she was a member of Girl Scout troop 3017 from Brownies to Junior Girl Scouts.
She spent many fun times at meetings, and campouts, especially the times at Mo-Ranch. She earned the Bronze Award, the highest award a Junior Girl Scout can receive. She loved music and played piano, as well as trying cello and clarinet.
