Mrs. Tapley was born in Boyle, MS on October 10, 1932, to Fred Dailey Evans, Sr. and Addie Dungan Evans.

She loved to volunteer at the hospital, at Hayes Cooper, and the library. She was a member of the Woman's Club, The Yellow Room Readers, The Golden Circle at Delta State University, and BPAC. She loved playing tennis and supporting friends when she could no longer play. "She made me feel like seeing me was the best thing that happened to her that day.", "Always spunky and full of life", "Sarah Tapley made this world a brighter place.", "The Delta lost a gem.", "My Friday margarita slushes will never be the same.", "For so many years she has been my friend, sister, and fearless leader." "She was the best Aunt a girl could have." We will always remember her laugh, her smile, and her hugs.

Mrs. Tapley is survived by her daughter, Lynn Consul Calkins (Mike Wysopal) of Grand Rapids, MI; honorary grand-daughter, Anna Austin Williamson; and a host of nieces, nephews, beloved friends, and past students who touched her life as much as she touched theirs.
