Sarah Goad Obituary

Sarah Margaret Goad CHARLESTON - Sarah Margaret Goad, daughter of Colonel William Francis Goad and Anna Marie Goad, passed away April 2, 2018, from complications with epilepsy. A graduate of the College of Charleston, Sarah was completing a joint Master's of Arts and Master's of Fine Arts in Children's Literature and Writing Children's Literature at Simmons College in Boston, MA. Sarah was a smart, scrappy Beater on the CofC Quidditch team. She was also on the editorial board of the International Quidditch Association Newsletter and co-created a satirical Quidditch website, Face Beat It. She was a fiercely loyal friend and sister and exceptional artist and writer. She is survived by her parents and sister, Laura Elizabeth Goad; her grandparents, Kenneth and Jeannette Goad; and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins. A funeral service will be held Monday, April 9, at 2:00 pm at Grace Church Cathedral, 98 Wentworth St., Charleston, SC. In lieu of flowers, contributions to the Epilepsy Foundation (www.epilepsy.com) are appreciated. Visit our guestbook at www.legacy.com/obituaries/ charleston

I had the unique pleasure of knowing the talented, driven, and generous SG in my picturebook class. Her academic writing was incisive and socially informed; her creative writing was ambitious, imaginative, and lyrical. She created her own vibrant community at Simmons-Children's Literature. She transformed the way we think about books for young people; she's marked us indelibly. My head spins and my heart swells from having known her.
