Obituary
Sarah Venable Jennings, 91, of N. Chesterfield, VA went to be with the Lord on Saturday, September 13, 2025. She was proceeded in death by her husband, Clyde and daughter, Linda. Sarah is survived by her children, Jerry Jennings (Linda), Christine King, Mark Jennings (Debi) and Ruth Howk (Kenny); sister-in-law, Vernelle Venable; grandsons, Bryan, Earnie, Jay, Matthew (Holly), Mark (Diana), Derrick (Alyssa) and Daniel (Jenna); granddaughters, Wendy (Jason), Jess, Jennifer, Tiffany (Erik) and Maria; great grandsons, Gary, Logan, Jacob, Charles, Luke, Daniel and Preston; great granddaughters, Christa, Lyric, Lindsey (Blake), Briana, Haley (Branden), Trinity, Emily, Sarah, and Abbey; and great-great grandchildren, Adalynn and English; cousin, Brenda Murphy; devoted friends and caregivers, Jo Andre, Maura Cherry, Caroline Everett, and Calinda Owen; friend, Debbie Wright; and all of her Kingsland Senior Saints.
Sarah was a devoted member of Kingsland Baptist Church for over 70 years. Sarah was a long-term Sunday School teacher teaching the 3-year-old class, loved on the little ones in nursery during many Sunday services, babysat for choir rehearsals, taught Bible School and impacted countless children’s lives throughout her life. She volunteered for Caritas in the clothing closet and cooking meals. She supported families in need by always keeping a meatloaf ready to go in the freezer and assisting with the meals for grieving families at church.
Sarah loved playing games for hours around her dining room table with friends and family into the wee hours of the night. She coordinated birthday dinners for each family member and family meals for every holiday. She was avid seamstress and knitter. Her love of reading was off the chart. Birdwatching was her favorite daytime pastime. She taught her family the importance of family and acting out our faith in God.
Matthew 37-39: … Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the greatest and most important command. The second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself.

Sarah was a lovely Christian lady. She was one of the first people I met at Kingsland. She loved her some babies and told them about Jesus. I was very blessed to have known her and even more blessed to have her in my family. Sarah I know you are rejoicing with Jesus and you will be greatly missed. We love you

Jerry, Linda, & Family:
The loss of the family matriarch is very significant. We are SO VERY SORRY. Her legacy lives on through each family member and every memory. With the full life that she lived, memories will be many. What a blessing to know you will see her again, but grieving takes time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this most difficult period. We love you and are here for you. Julie & Chris
