Sarah wed her late husband Charles B. Varney in 1975 and stood by his side until he was called home to be with the Lord in 1997. She was a devoted wife and mother. She raised not only her biological children but also nurtured and reared children of her family members. Sarah Nunoo, as she was affectionately called, was a disciplinarian. She believed one must “train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it”. (Proverb 22:6). She valued education greatly and therefore pushed her children to acquire all of the education they could. She would always say “where book can carry you, money cannot carry you there.”

Sarah opened her home to neighbors and friends happily. Sarah was widely known in Harper City, Maryland for her humanitarian generosity which she extended to everyone. She excelled at propping up her family members and supporting them through the many passions and difficulties of their lives. She made it her mission to improve the lives of others. We will miss her greatly. She is predeceased by her husband (Charles B. Varney), her father (Joseph Nunoo Sr.), her mother (Esther Hare Quartey), her brothers (Hon. Emanuel O. Gardiner & Raymond B. Quartey), her sisters (Margaret Kelly, Mary Nunoo-Tamakloe, and Martha Thomson), her son (John Stemn Sr.) her daughters (Esther Hare, Beatrice Nyeka, and Cecelia Quartey) and her granddaughter Abrahlyn Glenda Tubman.

Sarah leaves to mourn her loss her children – Vera Gibson-Tarr, Jannie E. Bright, Marcus W. Bright (Nettie), Abraham Y. Tubman (Martha), Roseline Kumeh Nkum (Albert), Elaine J. Forte, and Calvin R. Forte (Jeanie); her siblings - Joseph Nunoo, Clement Quartey (Leslie), Theresa Myers, and Veronica Quartey-Gibson; her nieces, nephews, grandchildren, great grandchildren, cousins, and a host of relatives and friends in LIBERIA, GHANA, and the UNITED STATES.
