Sandra Jean DeFord

Sweet Sandra will always be remembered.
Our families were close friends,especially when we were young and lived on farms outside of Bristol.
I will miss Sandra as I miss her sister Jo Ellen, but then I only have to scan my memories to know again what wonderful people they were. God bless them both and hold their families in love and care.

Sandra was a wonderful friend who I will always remember with love and respect. Love to all her family, Kathleen Mahaffey DeLange

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. You should be comforted to know she blessed so many lives. Our life was touched by her the first day of Kindergarten 1992 at Mitchell Elementary for our daughter. What an amazing teacher she was. So nurturing not only to her students but to the parents as well. Thank you for all the wonderful memories. We were so blessed to have been a part of your life. Always, Patty David and Katie Smith

My family loved Sandra. She was a wonderful friend to my sister Sue. When I was a little girl I got to hear all the stories about when she and my sister were majorettes together in high school.

My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends.

Did not see Sandra much since high school but still remember her as a beautiful and very sweet girl who could be tough when the situation warranted. Our class had about 2/3 boys. As the Junior class, we were responsible for planning and conducting the Junior-Senior prom, or something of the sort. The girls wanted a spring garden party theme. We said no, it would be a western dance theme. Sandra said, "OK, then you guys will do everything necessary to put it on." We had a spring garden...

Sanda will be greatfully missed. I know her & JoMama are having a great time together & watching over us all the time. Remember all the goods times you shared with her!

Michelle my thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. Know that your mother made a huge impression on many lives and for that God will welcome her into his open arms. As you go through this process of grief know that you will grow stronger and that you will find that you begin to have fond memories of the special things that your mother did and what a special lady your mother is!
