It is with great sadness to announce the death of Mrs. Sarah Edna East, of Morehead City, NC. She passed away peacefully from natural causes in her home on Tues. Nov. 26th.
“Edna” was born on Jan. 15th, 1933 to William Russell (Buck) Boles and Ann (Pace) Boles in Stuart, VA. She was the eldest of 8 siblings.
