Sandra “Sandy” Brown passed away peacefully on January 14, 2026 with her family by her side. Sandy was the life of the party — funny, feisty, outspoken, quick witted and always ready for a good time.
Her favorite things were drinking a cup of coffee with a good book, bumming around town with friends, antique and knickknack shopping and hanging out with her little buddy Doug, the dog. She loved a perfectly mixed dirty martini, a good steak and a good laugh. Sandy brought joy and laughter to everyone around her and will be missed by many.
Sandy is preceded in death by her loving parents, Dolores and Sterling, brother Sterling “Butch” and her baby girl, whom she will reunite with in heaven. She is survived by her three children, Stephanie, Philip and Lauren (Seth); her grandchildren Michael, Sean, and Leo; and her little buddy, Doug. She will also be remembered fondly by extended family and many friends.

Sandy was one of a kind!! My memories of her are her quick wit, contagious laugh and the life of the party! Put Sandy and Judy together and you could count on fun! I will miss our phone calls, whether lengthy or brief! Rest peacefully in Jesus’s loving arms. Keep all the Smiths in line up there, angel. Until we meet again🙏🏻
My mother was so funny. She was always making jokes and making people laugh. She truly cared for everyone and always had a great smile. She will truly be missed.
Sandy and I have shared a treasure of memories as cousins and friends. Our times together were full of joyful memories and important memories of how to be family.
Sandy and I shared a treasure of joyful memories and comfort in the sad days. As children we spent many fun times with Butch as well with a child care provider on summer days and our parents were off to work. Outdoor activities in the yard and neighborhood empty lot. Our families were excellent models of family support that served us all well. As adults this relationship continued. Sandy took care of our daughter Emily when I worked as a half day kindergarten teacher just blocks from her home. Our children as preschoolers enjoyed each other’s creative and active play. And our families continued to enjoy celebration support through our lifetimes. Laughter often out of control was a regular feature of our get together (even when the event was troublesome).
Sandy was a gift in my life.
Thank you, aunt Joann.
Sandy and I met in the mid seventies when her daughter, Stephanie, and my daughter were in second grade. Phillip was a little guy when I recall Sandy coming out of her big green Cadillac holding new baby Lauren. Sandy and I shared the ups and downs of life with so much laughter. As so many know, Sandy’s friendship has been a blessing.

I went to Ursuline with Sandy. She was kind, sweet and enjoyed a good laugh. Sandy had a warm and loving way about her. Rest in peace.
My Aunt Sandy was ambitious, classy, loyal and v loving. Steph, Philip and Lauren are truly a class act just like their Mom. I loved her… bye for now. Love always, Carolyn Smith <3
