Sandra Jane Oubre passed away on the evening of Sunday September 14, 2014 at the Baton Rouge General Hospital, her two sons by her side. Sandra was born November 3, 1956 to Alvie "Tommy" Oubre and Helen "Jean" Oubre in Lafayette Louisiana. As a native of Crowley, LA, and a graduate of Crowley High School. As a resident of Baton Rouge, Sandra worked for 22 years as an Information Technology Consultant for the Louisiana Department of Public Safety. Sandra was preceded in death by her father Tommy, and is survived by her two sons, Kaleb Thomas Freeman and Tyler Everett Freeman, her mother Jean Oubre, her brother Michael Oubre and his wife Shyrlene, and their three daughters Erin, Danielle, and Caitlin. Sandra was a lifelong fan of Nascar and LSU Football, attending events as often as she was able. She was known for her fun-loving spirit and brought joy to all who had the pleasure of her presence. Her hobbies included cooking for her friends and family, hosting parties for her loved ones, winning best dressed at costume parties, and attending the annual spring race at Talladega Superspeedway. Visitation will be held at Greenoaks Funeral Home on Friday, September 19, 2014 from 2pm until time of service at 4pm.

I shouldn't be writing this and you shouldn't be gone. Time and distance separated us - we've been friends for over fifty years. You were the first friend I can remember from church. I'm sorry I can't be at the memorial service for you; but, I don't know that I could bear to sit through it.

We had so much fun as kids, didn't we? Sunday school, training union, GA's, choir. Remember we thought we were so smart on Sunday nights "talking" in the choir loft? Tracing one letter at a time to spell out words. We weren't too well behaved. Daddy use to love to torment you on Saturday nights when you came over to eat BBQed hamburgers. I was Boudreaux and you were, and always were, Blackie. Even years later he called you Blackie. Well, since you're both in Heaven, tell him to fire up that grill and get the hamburgers going!

You are well and whole now and for that, I am exceedingly grateful. But, you will be missed so much. Our lives are richer for having known you. Our lives are so much emptier because you're gone. I wish I could hug you one last time and sing "I'll Fly Away" with you one last time... Watch over me, Blackie. I'll love you forever.

Sandra was a very fun outgoing loving person. She loved her two boys very much. I don't know what we are all going to do Christmas Eve, going to her home and seeing everyone was always so much fun! She now has the best seat for her NASCAR and LSU games ( make sure we win, put in a good word for us ). I will miss you and know how much my sister Jan will be lost without you! You were a very loved individual!
