Sandra Kellems Obituary
JONESBORO - Sandra Kaye Wixson Kellems, 77, departed this life on Thursday, April 3, 2025, at her home surrounded by family. She was born on Feb. 11, 1948, to Roy and Anna Wixson of Fisher.

After graduating from Weiner High School, Class of 1966, she attended ASU and Cosmetology School. She worked as a hair stylist until the birth of her daughter. She was also an executive partner of Triple W Farms.
Sandra played piano from a young age and started as a church pianist at the age of 13. Her family attended Fisher United Methodist Church.

In her lifetime, she was a member of the Treble Clef Club, in Pistols and Petticoats Square Dance Club, and in St. Bernards Senior Life Center Choir.
