Sally Hart

Sally Patricia Hart, 76, of Anderson, South Carolina went to be with the Lord at 1:24 p.m. on Friday, May 8, 2026, with family by her side at her son’s home in Granite City.

She was born on May 20, 1949, in Anderson, South Carolina, the daughter of the late Roy B. and Zelia (Fowler) Getsinger. Sally married the love of her life, Reverend Thomas S. Hart Sr., on October 25, 1964, in Hartwell, Georgia and together they shared a lifetime devoted to faith, family, and ministry. He survives.

Sally was a graduate of Crescent High School in Anderson and later earned her nursing degree from Anderson School of Nursing. She dedicated her life to caring for others, serving faithfully as a nurse in Belleville and Hamilton, Illinois, McMinnville, Tennessee, and later retiring from NHC Nursing Home in Lexington, South Carolina. Her compassionate spirit and servant’s heart touched countless lives throughout her career.

As the devoted wife of a pastor, Sally faithfully served alongside her husband in ministry for many years. She led and taught the Missionettes Girls’ program and served as a women’s ministry leader, encouraging and inspiring many through her faith and kindness. Sally also had a deep love for music and was gifted in playing the organ, piano, and accordion. Whether in church, at home, or gathered with loved ones, music was one of the many ways she shared joy with others.

Sally treasured her family above all else. She enjoyed fishing, laughter-filled gatherings, and creating cherished memories with those she loved most. Her gentle spirit, unwavering faith, and loving presence will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

In addition to her beloved husband, she is survived by her three children and their spouses, Pastor T. Samuel and Kay Hart of Granite City, Illinois, Annette and Pastor Phil Anderson of Akron, Ohio, and Pastor Wes and Darla Hart of Belleville, Illinois; five grandchildren and their spouses, Pastor Ryan and April Hart, Pastor Bryan and Hannah Hart, Joshua and Mackenzie Hart, Jenna and Joey Haynes, and Jonathan Anderson; three great-grandchildren, Avalee, Ezra, and Judah; along with many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her sister, Marian Miller.

In celebration of her life, visitation will be held at Anchor of Life Assembly of God Church, 200 Eiler Road in Belleville, Illinois, at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, May 15, 2026. Pastors Wes and Sam Hart will officiate. Memorials may be made to Anchor of Life Assembly of God Church.
