Gerald Sauls Obituary
The family will receive friends on Wednesday, February 11, 2026 from 5-7pm at Anderson Funeral Home.
Funeral services will be held on Thursday, February 12, 2026 at 10:30am in Port Royal Baptist Church with burial in Beaufort National Cemetery with military honors.
Mr. Sauls was born on August 14, 1935 in Port Royal, SC. He is the son Edison Sauls and Erma Folk.
As a young boy growing up in Port Royal he learned to love the rivers and the creeks in the area and spent a lot of time fishing, crabbing and gathering oysters.
As a young man he managed many grocery stores in the area including the Piggly Wiggly on Ribaut Road, Winn Dixie in Beaufort Plaza, and two Bi-Lo's at the Kmart shopping center and the old Sky City Plaza. After retiring from Bi-Lo in his 60's he worked 20 years at Home Depot in Bluffton well into his 80's. Throughout his working years he continued to spend his free time fishing in the rivers and creeks of Port Royal sound.
Although he loved fishing and the rivers in the area, his greatest love was for his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, his wife Pearl and his family. He was ordained as a Deacon in Port Royal Baptist Church in 1979 and served as a deacon for several years. He was a proud member of the "Sweat Hog" sunday school class and continued as a member of Port Royal Baptist until his recent death. As a follower of Christ he and his wife Pearl, taught their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren to also follow Christ. This was his greatest joy.
Surviving is one son, Greg Sauls (Sally); two daughters, Tammy Philips (Charles) and Melissa Jones (David); two sisters, Oteria "Oti" Marsden and Lottie Phinney; seven grandchildren and six great grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that donations be made to Port Royal Baptist Church.
