Life Story for Deacon Sarah E. Standiford
DEACON SARAH EUPHEMIA STANDIFORD, 86 years of Darlington, MD, died on Sunday, April 17, 2016 in her home surrounded by her family. A lifetime resident of Darlington, Deacon Standiford was born on September 6, 1929 to her late parents, Ramsay and Bessie (Roussey) Standiford.
Deacon Standiford earned a BA Degree from the University of Maryland and achieved her Master’s Degree from Central Michigan University. She had worked at Aberdeen Proving Ground, retiring in 1994 as an Inspector/Investigator for the U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command – Inspector General’s Office. Deacon Standiford served on multiple boards and civic organizations, but the one privilege she treasured most was becoming and serving as an ordained Deacon in the Episcopal Church. One of her greatest joys was caring for others, and she will leave a large void in the lives of many. Deacon Standiford would want everyone to celebrate her life by sharing the love of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ with all.
In addition to leaving many happy and humorous memories, she is survived, affectionately loved and admired by several nieces, nephews, great nieces, great nephews and a host of close friends.
She was preceded in death by her special Aunt Marian Standiford (who raised her and her siblings when their parents died at a young age) as well as her brothers, Charles, James and Edward (Ned) Standiford.
Services will be held on Thursday, April 21, 2016 at Grace Episcopal Church, 1022 Main Street, Darlington, with visitation from 10 to 12 noon followed immediately with the funeral service. The Reverend Patricia Drost of St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, Perryville, MD, will officiate with interment in Darlington Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, her family would appreciate contributions in her memory to the Alzheimer Association, Greater MD Chapter, 108 Byte Dr., Suite 103, Frederick, MD 21702. Please indicate on your check for the Harford Co. Chapter.
