Sarah Ruth Scruggs Marshall, 66, of DeRidder, LA, passed from this life on Thursday, April 28, 2022.

Sarah was born July 11, 1955 in Little Rock, AR. She graduated from Central High School, then went on to earn her teaching degree from Ouachita Baptist College in Arkadelphia, AR. Over her twenty-two-year teaching career, she taught Home Economics and Art at Hornbeck and Singer High School.
