Sara Sue Cheek Scott, age 83, of the Chopped Oak Community, moved to her heavenly home on Sunday, November 19, 2023.
Born on June 23, 1940, in Banks County, she was the baby daughter of the late James Harrison Cheek and the late Vera Inez Ward Cheek. She was the last surviving member of her immediate family. She was a 1960 graduate of Stephens County High School, and she was a very strong, independent, hard-working woman. She retired twice: first from Coats and Clark with 36 years of service and later from Wal-Mart in Cornelia with 15 years of service. She enjoyed reading and relaxing in her spare time. She was very loving, loyal, and devoted to those she loved.
