September 16, 1935 - March 29, 2016
James Bernard Sarrett, 80 of Camden, AR passed away Tuesday, March 29, 2016 at his home. He was born September 16, 1935 in Bluff City, AR and was married to Annie Ponder Sarrett for 60 years. Bernard was a member of First Baptist Church where he served as Deacon for over 40 years. After retirement from Gilchrist Bag Company, he volunteered with Nailbenders for Jesus and helped build over a hundred churches. He also enjoyed woodworking and crafted very special furniture pieces and other gifts that are cherished by many family members and friends. Everyone who received or purchased his handiwork is a witness to his deeply held faith because he wrote Proverbs 3: 5, 6, 7 on each piece. He lived by his convictions and had the heart of a servant.
