Condolences to Mrs. Caldwell's loved ones. She was an Assistant Principal when I attended Dobson HS and worked as a part-time receptionist. I had the privilege of sitting in front of her office witnessing this amazing woman at work. She was such an inspiration to me. A beautiful, brilliant, and classy woman. She genuinely cared about students and treated her employees and coworkers with the utmost respect. She would even take her work home when she was ill. Her assistant would get so mad at her and try to advise her to focus on getting well instead. Mrs. Caldwell provided the best guidance and truly lead by example. I'm forever grateful for God placing her in my path especially at such a delicate phase in my life as a 16 year old. Rest in peace Mrs. Caldwell.

You were an assistant principal while I was attending Dobson High School in Mesa. You were always very nice, and you drove a cool little Mercedes sedan!

Mrs. Caldwell was a guiding light for me during my education at North High School. My deepest prayers and sympathy go out to her family. May God watch over her sons and grandchildren while she is taken home to the bossom of our Lord, God and Savior.

Please accept my sincere sympathy during this time in your lives. Sandra was a very kind person and I got to know her through my sister Mae F Smith, who is now deceased. I really enjoyed being around her. I know that her family will think of the beautiful memories they have of her.

Sandra you were a soft spoken and kind Lady. Although I did not know you well I liked and respected you. You wore the "baddest" hats in town. I wish the very best for your family. May God bless them and keep them safe.

I just found out about her passing today, what a shock. Mrs. Caldwell was my high school counsel and Mom away from home. She was genuinely concerned about her students. God bless you Caldwell family.

Although I never knew Sandra well, I always admired and liked her very much. She was spirital and kind. Very pleasant to be around. My husband knew her for a long time and always had good things to say about her and her family. Her suffering is over and I am sure she is in a better place. May God bless her family! Sincerely, Barbara Sherman-Simpson

Mrs. Caldwell was truly a Christian woman who cared deeply for other people and was even willing to get personally involved with individuals who needed her Christian love. God bless her wonderful family in the way that only He can.

May she rest in peace. She was a very kind lady. Knew her at SMHS as a counselor. I remember telling her once she reminded me of Glady's Knight. May all the memories the family have remain in their hearts forever.
