Sara Rose (Maiden) Littrell

Sara Rose (Maiden) Littrell went to be with her Lord and Savior on Tuesday, January 9, 2024, at the age of seventy-six. She was born on January 23, 1947, in Pruden, KY, the daughter of the late Rev. Lewis H. and Lillian Irene (Redmond) Maiden.

Sara was a cheerleader in high school and was Homecoming Queen during her senior year. She graduated from Bell County High School in Pineville, KY, in 1966. After graduation she worked as a telephone operator at South Central Bell Telephone Company.

She married the late Hubert Daniel Littrell on September 28, 1968, at West Cumberland Baptist Church in Middlesboro, KY. They moved to Dayton, OH, where they lived for 47 years before she relocated to Knoxville, TN in 2019.

Sara Rose was a devoted Christian and prayer warrior who loved to spread the word of God, witness to others, play the piano, and sing. She always had a smile on her face, would do anything to help others, and didn’t know a stranger. Sara was a singer and piano player in her own family gospel group, The Littrell Family Gospel Singers. She was part of a woman’s prison ministry in Eaton, OH. Sara was a devoted wife and mother of three children and the best grandmother to six grandchildren who were the “apple of her eye.”
