Larry Sandefur Obituary
Larry D. Sandefur, 82, entered into the arms of his loving Savior on Wednesday, February 25, 2015, with his loving family by his side, after a brief battle with pneumonia. Funeral Services will be at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, February 28, 2015, at Rehoboth Baptist Church with Rev. Jay Lauritsen and Rev. David Long officiating. Interment will be at Woodlawn Cemetery immediately following the service. Visitation will be held from 6:00 until 9:00 p.m. on Friday, February 27, 2015, at Watson-Hunt Funeral Home.

Larry was born in Bibb County and was the son of the late Leila F. and Collie N. "Charlie" Sandefur. After marrying the love of his life, the late Dorothy G. "Dot" Sandefur, he resided in Perry, Georgia for 58 years. He proudly served our country for four years in the U.S. Army. He said "square 'em up" as a square dance caller for 35 plus years. Larry drove a school bus for the Houston County Board of Education and was a tour bus driver for the Warner Robins Senior Center for a number of years. He was a member of Rehoboth Baptist Church and the Senior Adult I Sunday School Class.
His memory will forever be treasured by his daughters who dearly loved him, Denise Posey (David) of Unadilla, Robin Roughton of Warner Robins, Terry Sandefur of Byron, and Shelli Yoemans (Davy) of Perry; his grandchildren, Joseph Stinson (Alisha) of San Diego, CA, Chad Roughton of Kennesaw, Kristina Stinson of Perry, Lori Roughton of Warner Robins, and Austin Yoemans of Perry; and his great- grandchildren, Harper, Kadance, and Ansley. He was preceded in death by his loving wife of 52 years, Dorothy "Dot" Sandefur; his brother, E.W. Sandefur; his sisters, Louise Bragg and Frances Walker; and his son-in-law, Wayne Roughton.

We sure will miss your daddy. He and Ms Dot were so special to us and our family. Lots of childhood memories with them. There's one thing for sure, you girls were so good to him. I really didnt think he would make it this long without your mama, but he did, and it was because of the true caring love you made sure he had. Every time I saw him the past several years, at least one of you, if not more, were there by his side. So many prayers have been for your families. Love all of you!

A voice from heaven is now silenced. He had the voice of an angel when he sang or called a square dance. I will always remember his great smile and his love to tease. He was a great man and Father. He will be missed by many. Denise,Terry, Robin and Shelley you have been the best daughters any parents could hope for and took such good care of both parents until the Lord took them home. God Bless and Keep each and everyone of you and my prayers are with you. Love.

Mr. Larry was truly an exceptional man who clearly emulated the character traits of a "genuine" Christ follower! Brother Larry will be dearly missed but we know he's with our risen Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ! May God comfort and bless the family during this difficult time and reassure them that they will see him again in the presence of the Lord.
