Sarah Rose Branham's Obituary
Sarah Rose Branham was born to Laura Ballard Branham and Craig Douglas Branham on July 31, 1991 in Los Angeles, California. After attending Culver City High School, she went on to enjoy a passionate life focused around music, particularly punk rock music.
Her unique and stunning looks earned her a life of modeling jobs, including for a photographer from Time Magazine.
Following high school, Sarah worked in a variety of fields, but her favorite jobs were always the ones involving animals.
She loved her own animals, too, particularly Georgia the Pomeranian but also her kitties Beans and Mabel.
Sarah thrived in acting class at Dallas’s premiere acting school John Casablancas. And in this past November’s issue of Bust Magazine, Sarah was featured for attending a music festival hosted by her favorite film director John Waters.
She was a passionate maker of patches which she frequently sewed on her punk rock jean jackets and leather coats.
In addition to her paintings and drawings, Sarah was known to display her art in other ways, such as clothing, hairstyles, and jewelry.
Sarah was predeceased by her grandfather Jack Branham.
