Sara died peacefully in her sleep on July 30, 2019 following a brief period of illness. Sara was a native of Belton SC, born on June 25, 1923. She was the twelfth child of her parents Martha Missouri Wheeler Bradley and William Stroder Bradley. She resided in Charlotte most of her adult life.

Her parents, all of her siblings; her loving husband, James Moffatt Parkinson and her beloved daughter, Martha Moffatt Parkinson Calaway, preceded her in death. Surviving are a daughter, Cynthia Parkinson Benson of Conover NC; a son-in-law, Jack Calaway of Ohio; two granddaughters, Jill Peth (Nick) of Washington PA and Sara Emily Carleo of Davidson NC, two great grandchildren, Ben and Julia Peth; a sister-in-law, Jean Parkinson Blackston of Oxford MS; nieces, Margaret, Chae, Jane, Sommer, Kaye and nephews Frank and Stroder. A graveside service will be held on Friday, August 2, 2019 at 11 a.m. at Sharon Memorial Park, 5400 Monroe Rd., Charlotte, NC 28212.

At Hankins & Whittington Funeral Service, nestled in the historic heart of Dilworth, we have provided families in the Charlotte area with customizable memorial services for many years.

Whittington took the reins of the Crouch Funeral Home. The growth of our service and the community's support led to our move in March 1963 to the current location—once St. Luke’s Lutheran Church, built in 1930. Our chapel, a cherished historic landmark within the storied Dilworth neighborhood, is renowned for being the only funeral home in Charlotte graced with its own chapel, echoing with decades of history and serenity....
