Sarah Louella Kirk, 86, affectionately known as “Tee Tee”, of Morgantown, passed away late Sunday evening, March 15, 2020, at Sundale Nursing Home in Morgantown.
She was born Nov. 28, 1933, in Terra Alta, a daughter of the late John Milo and Mabel Lucinda (Smearman) DeWitt.
Sarah is survived by her husband of nearly 61 years, Russell Edward “Wick” Kirk; one daughter, Chele Kirk Varner and her husband Rick, of Blacksville; a grandson, Kirk Varner, who was the absolute light of her life; a sister, Carolyn Taylor, and her husband Bob, of Hondo, Texas; a special cousin, Amber Murray and her family, of Morgantown; and two nephews, Bob Taylor and Rich Taylor.
Her greatest joy in life was spending time with her family, and loving on her precious grandson, Kirk.
In 1950, after graduating high school at the age of 17, she moved to Morgantown and became a business professional.
