David Crowdis and Rev. Josh Duncan will be held on Sunday, September 22, 2024 at 1:30 PM at the Morgan Methodist Cemetery.
Myra was born in Baker County, Georgia on July 16, 1938, the daughter of the late Cleo and Louella Lash Ferguson. She was reared in Elmodel, Georgia. She married Ben Sawyer, Jr on April 15, 1956, and they made several moves before finally settling at Cordray’s Mill. She was a wonderful wife to Ben, or as she called him, “Sugar” and a very loving, caring Mama to her two daughters and one son. She was faithful in praying for her family and it proved fruitful in that all surrendered their lives to Jesus Christ. She was a wonderful homemaker and member of Morgan Baptist Church.
Myra was preceded in death by her loving husband Ben of 61 years, three brothers, Ralph Ferguson, Carroll Ferguson and Reid Ferguson, and three sisters Lucille Gilbert, Mary Nell George, and Theresa McDaniel.
Left to carry on her legacy are two daughters, Gale Taylor and Wanda Prater and one son, Tim (Kim) Sawyer; five grandchildren, Christopher Prater (Maegan), Caitlyn Jackson (Jason), Lindsey Bentley (Nik), Mackenzie Sawyer and Anna Sawyer; ten great-grandchildren and many extended family members and dear friends, all who will miss her greatly.
The family will receive friends on Saturday September 21, 2024 from 5:00 pm until 7:00 pm at Myra’s home at 32961 Georgia Highway 45 N, Morgan, Georgia.
Those desiring may make donations in her memory to Morgan Baptist Church, P.O. Box 32, Morgan, Georgia, 39866 or to Morgan Cemetery Fund, c/o Carla Cook, 10409 Dickey Street, Morgan, Georgia, 39866.
