Her volunteer service and hobbies included Girl Scout leader, gardening, tennis, bird watching, painting and biking. Raising and showing walking horses was a big part of her life, along with being a trail rider with the Tennessee Saddle Bags.

With her husband, she was very active in political campaigns, and was a member of the Republican Women's Club of Davidson and Williamson Counties. As an avid historian of the Civil War, Sara Jo was a member of the United Daughters of the Confederacy and a member of the Civil War Round Table.

Over the years, her Christian service included teaching Sunday school classes, working at church camps, and supporting missionaries. Sara Jo was well known for her volunteer work at GraceWorks Ministries of Williamson County where she coordinated volunteers in the food pantry for the needy of her community. Sara Jo will certainly live on through the lives of many others, whom she impacted by her loving character.
