Mrs. Roncali was born July 7, 1944 in Morton, MS to the late Taylor B. Allen and Rosa Mae “Moreland” Allen. She was a faithful member of Lawrence Baptist Church.

Sarah could always be found outdoors- whether she was cutting grass or canning vegetables from her large garden, she was always working on something. She was a devoted wife to her late husband, Frankie Eugene Roncali and was always by his side. In her free time, Sarah loved to do word puzzles and spend time with her family.

Mrs. Roncali is preceded in death by her parents, her loving husband, and two daughters, Sheila Diane Taylor and Sandra Jean Roncali.
