Sandra Ann Herring passed away Saturday evening, October 27, 2012 in Houston surrounded by her loving family and friends. She will be dearly missed by the lives that she impacted and touched on her 65 year journey through life. Her sons, Stephen and Matthew Herring, were at her side until the end along with the thoughts and prayers of her extended family and friends.
Sandy was born Sandra Ann McKee in Marshalltown, Iowa on April 25, 1947 the second of four children to Ray and Marie McKee. Sandy graduated from St. Mary's High School in Marshalltown and soon after moved with her family to McKinney, Texas in 1965. She moved to Houston a few years later, where she raised her two sons, Stephen and Matthew, and called home for the majority of her adult life. Sandy displayed an active and independent attitude about life, as persuaded by her love of traveling and meeting new people. She was kind, giving, and a devoted mother and friend. Tennis, golf, and yoga were enjoyed by Sandy in her later years, as well as a good movie and a full social calendar.
Sandy is survived by her mother, Marie McKee of McKinney, Texas; her two sons, Stephen and Mathew Herring; brother, Mark and wife Reta McKee of Richardson, Texas; brother, John and wife Barbara McKee of Houston; her sister, Lynda and Bud Dixon of Longmont, Colorado; and her granddaughter Georgia Herring of Houston; along with numerous loving relatives and friends.
A memorial Mass will be held at ten o'clock in the morning on Friday, November 2, 2012 at St. Anne Catholic Church, 2140 Westheimer Road, Houston, Texas 77098. A reception for friends and family will follow.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests contributions be given in Sandra's memory to Ronald McDonald House of Houston, 1907 Holcombe Blvd., Houston 77030. Online tributes may be posted at
