Sara Eckard Obituary

With profound sadness, we say goodbye to Sara Eckard of Hickory, North Carolina, born in Knoxville, Tennessee, whose vibrant spirit touched the lives of many. Sara left this world on June 18, 2025 at the age of 79, leaving a void in the lives of so many people. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.

As Sara departs from this earthly realm, her essence lingers — a whisper on the wind, a ripple on the water — a testament to the enduring power of love to transcend the boundaries of life and death. Though Sara may no longer walk beside us, her spirit lives on in the memories and the legacy Sara leaves behind.

She was predeceased by: her parents, Campbell Lee and Thelma Bayless Lee. She is survived by: her children, David Eckard (Jennifer) of Hickory and Laura Eckard of Morganton; and her granddaughters, Olivia Eckard and Becklee Eckard of Hickory.
