Mrs Sarah Amos

Sarah Mae Amos Our sweet Sarah Mae Amos was born on November 23, 1934 to the late Sarah and Sylvester Jones in Doyle, Texas. Due to her mother passing when she was an infant, she was raised by her grandmother and grandfather, Fannie and Edward “Poppa” Forge. They lovingly called her “Black Gal.” Sarah accepted Christ at an early age and united with Mt. Gideon Doyle Primitive Baptist Church in Limestone County where she was baptized in a tank - “a big ole round hole”, as she and her cousins referred to it. She attended public school in Groesbeck, Texas. Sarah married her childhood love, Eckie Earl Amos (who preceded her in death in 2005). They left their hometowns of Groesbeck and Buffalo, Texas and moved to Houston to begin their lives together. They raised their children in 5th Ward, where they attended Galilee Missionary Baptist Church under the leadership of Rev. Galloway. She later became a member of Greater St. Luke Baptist Church under the leadership of Rev. Draper. Her church home until her homegoing was Providence Missionary Baptist Church under the pastoral care of Pastor Jerry Wade Sr., where she was one of the Mothers of the church. Sarah and Eckie Earl raised a beautiful family of 6 daughters and 2 sons. The eldest, Betty (preceded them in death at the age of 8 years old), JoAnn (“Annie, Miss Auntie”, preceded her in death at the age of 54), Deborah (Ron Daniels), Kenneth Sr., Cynthia (the late Greg Jackson), Linda, Sharon (Derrick Walker), and Barry, her cousin whom she raised from infancy as her son(preceded her in death at the age of 28). She was very instrumental in the rearing and raising of her grandchildren: LeKesha (Andre), Monique, Diwone, Micheal (Krissie), Netta, Dominique (Aaron), Dwyane, Rodney, Trenesia, Regina, Antonio, Jalisa, Caria, Trevon, Keara, Dwona, Keon, Kenny, Zayne, and her granddaughters in heart - Porsche, Ashley and Valon. She also loved her 35 great grandchildren and 5 great, great grandchildren. Sarah touched everyone she met by her sweet, loving smile and genuine nature and heart. She loved to watch the judge and game shows, particularly Steve Harvey on Family Feud, and play card games and dominoes with the kids (and she didn’t let them win). She also leaves to cherish her memories her sisters, neighborhood children, friends, church family, nieces, nephews, a host of other family members and friends.
