Sara Maud Lindsey Maultsby, 90, a lifelong resident of San Saba, Texas, passed away Saturday, March 2, 2013 in Brownwood, Texas.
She was born March 28, 1922 in San Saba, the daughter of Archie B. Lindsey and Bess Dean Lindsey. Sara Maud went to school in San Saba, and graduated from San Saba High School in 1939. On May 2, 1942, she and her high school sweetheart, William A. (Bill) Maultsby were married in San Saba, where they made their home. Three children were born to this union, Brenda, Billy, and Lolly. The family worshipped at the First Baptist Church where she was member until her death. Bill passed away March 18, 1970. Prior to enrolling in beauty school, Sara taught a kindergarten class, where she invested her life in the early lives of some of the youngsters in San Saba. She later became a beautician, and continued her profession in excess of fifty years. In their younger years, Bill and Sara spent their spare time on the archery range. They enjoyed archery and excelled in the sport, advancing to the Nationals in West Virginia. She loved to fish, and cook. She enjoyed spending time with her family and shopping was her passion. In her later years, most of her evenings were spent playing Canasta with her special friends, “The Golden Girls”, including Louise McNair, Elizabeth Barker, Dorothy Gage and Catheryn Dismuke. They ate their evening meal together, then headed to one or the other’s home for a few games, and of course catching up on the latest current events.
