Sarah Jane Sales Wilborn was born in Yadkinville, NC on July 7, 1953.  She gained her wings on June 23, 2023 at her home in Winston-Salem.

She attended the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools. She was a faithful member of Mount Olive Baptist Church where she served on the choir and kitchen committee. She was a faithful servant of the Lord.

She was employed by Kaplan School Supply for 35+ years. She enjoyed cooking, singing, traveling, and spreading the Word of God.  She was a beautiful soul that captured many with her smile and willingness to help others in any way that she could.  She was known to many as a mother, friend, nurse, and confidant.  Most of all, she loved her family and wanted all of them to know how much she loved them.

She is survived by her daughter, Stephania Wilborn (Dwone Baldwin); sons, Thomas L. (Maria) Wilborn and Curtis Wilborn; 8 grandchildren; 3 great-grandchildren; and a host of nieces, nephews, and beloved family members.
