The family of Sarah Marsh, 8, who was killed in the July 4 flood that struck central Texas, has announced her memorial service for Thursday.

The Mountain Brook girl was among the dozens of Camp Mystic campers and counselors who died in the flood.

The daughter of Patrick Marsh, a Samford University assistant professor and Jill Marsh, a family medicine practitioner in Homewood, attended Cherokee Bend Elementary School.

The July Fourth floods killed at least 129 people. Authorities believe more than 160 people may still be missing in Kerr County alone, and 10 more in neighboring areas.

“Known affectionately as ‘Sissy, ‘Little, or ‘Baby Sis,’ Sarah was the joy-filled, adventurous, snuggly light of our lives,” the family wrote in her obituary.

“She made friends quickly, approached new experiences with courage and excitement, and had a way of quickly drawing in anyone she met.”

Sarah embodied “joyful energy,” according to the family, and loved showing off her splits and new dance moves, as well as eating candy and raw oysters.

“We will hold tight to eight years jam-packed with memories, stories, pictures, and videos, and we will continue to love and celebrate Sarah every day for the rest of our lives,” the obituary states. ”She will always be our daughter, sister, grandchild, cousin, and friend.”

The memorial service will take place at 11 a.m. Thursday at the Cathedral Church of the Advent in Birmingham, with the reception afterwards at the church.

Instead of flowers, the family asks for donations to a legacy fund established in Sarah’s name.

“The family requests with gratitude that memorial donations be directed to the Sarah Marsh Memorial Fund/Community Foundation of Greater Birmingham located at 1531 Third Avenue North, Suite 100, Birmingham, Alabama 35203 or by visiting their website,” the obituary states.

“Her parents and brother will lovingly direct donations toward causes that reflect her joyful spirit and passions and bless others in her honor.”

Another family with ties to Alabama lost members to the flood and others are still missing.

Eddie Santana Sr., 69, of Mobile, was found dead on Friday.

He was swept away along with his wife, Ileana Santana, 6-year-old granddaughter, Mila Rose Santana, and Mila’s parents, Camille Santana and Eddie Santana Jr.

Eddie Jr. was found alive and discharged from a hospital on July 6.

Camille’s body was found on July 8 by rescuers and she died due to injuries sustained during the flood, according to her brother-in-law Michael Santana.

The search continues to find Ileana and Mila who remain missing a week.
