Sarah Ethel Carswell, 91, went home to be with her Lord and Savior on Friday, May 27, 2011. She was preceded in death by her husband, Leo Carswell, her son-in-law, Ronnie Amos, and her brother-in-law, Buren Carswell. She is survived by her daughter, Judy Amos, of Rutherfordton; one brother, Earl Taylor, and wife Mabel, of Mill Spring; one sister, Addie Mae Carswell, of Tryon; one granddaughter, Jennifer Shoenfelt, of Rutherfordton; one grandson, Michael Amos, and wife Kim, of Rutherfordton, three great-grandchildren; Hunter Shoenfelt, Will Amos, and Caroline Amos, all of Rutherfordton, and numerous other friends and relatives. She was a member of Pea Ridge Baptist Church in Mill Spring and retired from Doncaster/Tanner Corporation after more than20 years of service. She will be remembered by many as a master seamstress who created countless beautiful garments – and as a person who always put others before herself. Her sweet and loving nature will surely be missed by us all. In lieu of flowers, memorials are suggested to Autumn Care of Forest City, or Pea Ridge Baptist Church of Mill Spring. The family will receive friends from 2 – 3 PM Sunday May 29, 2011 at Pea Ridge Baptist Church with funeral services beginning at 3 PM. Burial will follow in the church cemetery.
