Sara Colleen Jarvis

Sara Colleen Jarvis, 75, of Fort Gibson was born December 7, 1948 in Prague, OK to Charles Edward and Charlene (Ziegler) Kimery and passed away Wednesday, December 27, 2023 in Muskogee. On March 28, 1970, Sara married the love of her life, Samuel Dewey Jarvis, together they shared 53 years, 8 months and 30 days raising a family and making precious memories together. Sara had multiple careers, working as a clerical worker for a law firm, as a social worker for the Department of Human Services, and a special education teacher. She received a degree from the University of Central Oklahoma in special education. She had a special love of animals and couldn’t stand to see any of them suffer. She and Sam adopted several pets over the years because her heart wanted to give them a good life. Sara enjoyed working in her garden and she found a new hobby at raising Monarch butterflies. She also enjoyed volunteering, and golf (although she has stated she wasn’t very good at the game). She and Sam loved to travel and were thankful that God allowed them to see so much of the country and loved meeting so many people in their travels. Sara loved her family and friends and treasured the time she got to spend with them. She was one of OU’s Biggest Fans and faithfully wore her game socks for each game, regardless of the outcome. She was extremely proud of her sons and her grandchildren, who she said were the joy of her life. Her absence is something that will be deeply felt by all that knew and loved her so much. Sara was preceded in death by her parents, Edward and Charliene. She is lovingly survived by her husband, Sam of the home; sons, Scott Jarvis and wife, Tonya of Skiatook, and Matt Jarvis and wife, Lindsey of Broken Arrow; grandson, Carter Ray of Broken Arrow; granddaughter, Kimery Jarvis of Edmond; extended family and many friends. A Celebration of Sara’s life is 11AM Saturday, January 6, 2024 at First United Methodist Church, Muskogee with Reverend Andre Contino officiating. The family of Sara Colleen Jarvis has entrusted her care, cremation and service to Clifford D Garrett Family Funeral Home and Cremation Service, 1224 E Poplar, Fort Gibson, OK. 918-478-2555.
