Sarah Hughes

It is with broken hearts that we share that Sarah Elizabeth Hughes joined her mother, Becky Hughes in eternity on Monday, December 11, 2023, at Atrium Health Cabarrus in Concord. Sarah, aged 27, passed away surrounded by the love of her family.

Born on September 28, 1996, in Dallas, TX, Sarah was the beloved daughter of Christopher "Chris" Dean Hughes and the late Rebecca "Becky" Ruth Roberts Hughes. In her twenty-seven years she lived life abundantly and eagerly shared love and joy leaving an enduring mark on the hearts of those she met.

Sarah loved working with children, including with the YKids program at Keith YMCA in Charlotte and as a volunteer at Epworth United Methodist Church in Concord.

Sarah was an enthusiastic participant in many athletic endeavors including the Special Olympics, where she participated in Volleyball, Softball, Bocce Ball, and snow-skiing. She played Miracle League Baseball in both North Carolina and Texas. In addition, Sarah was active in the Amethyst Cheerleading at Victory Cheerleading in Concord. From the age of five, Sarah also enjoyed therapeutic horseback riding.

Sarah is survived by her loving father, Chris Hughes, and her sister, Hannah Hughes (Dalton Carter). Their cherished memories of Sarah's vibrant spirit and selfless acts of kindness will be a lasting legacy.

A memorial service to celebrate Sarah's life will be held at Epworth United Methodist Church at 2 pm, on Wednesday, December 20, 2023, officiated by Rev. Dennis Marshall. The family will receive friends 1 hour prior to the service.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that memorials be made to Miracle League Baseball or Special Olympics in the area of your choice. These contributions will honor Sarah's memory by supporting the organizations she held dear to her heart.

May the memory of Ms. Sarah Elizabeth Hughes shine brightly in our hearts, inspiring us to embrace the warmth and compassion she shared with the world.
