Sarena Flowers

Sarena Anne Flowers, a beloved wife, mother, sister, and friend, passed away on September 13, 2023, at Cookeville Regional Medical Center. Born on January 15, 1948, in Nashville, TN, Sarena lived a life full of love, laughter, and service to her community.

Sarena was a woman of many talents and passions. She was the former owner and cosmetologist of the Algood Beauty Shop. Later in her life, she found a new calling in juvenile corrections, serving with the Putnam County Sheriff Department for over 30 years. Her dedication and commitment to helping others were evident in her work.

Known for her vivacious, feisty, and spunky personality, Sarena was a force to be reckoned with. Her spicy sense of humor and friendly demeanor made her a favorite among her friends and colleagues. Her zest for life was infectious, and she had a unique ability to light up any room she entered.

Sarena is survived by her husband, Steve Flowers; her daughter, Monica (Willie) Cason of Sparta, TN; two brothers, Samuel (Linda) Hassler of Crossville, TN and Terry (Vinnie Ann) Hassler of Smyrna, TN; a sister, Clara Davis of Atlanta, GA; and her cherished granddaughter, Izabella Hood. She also leaves behind her special friends, Charlie Lane and June Hood, who will miss her dearly.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Carlo Young and Belvia Wightman Hassler, and her son, John Brandon Hood.
