Sandra Cleveland Obituary
Sandra attended and graduated from Atoka High School in 1969. She married Frank (Bud) Argo in October of 1977. Sandra moved to Bryan County in the late 70's, moved back to the Atoka area, and then made her final home in Lone Grove, Oklahoma. Sandra was a loyal, hard worker. She worked for the Durant Box Factory for over 20 years before their closing. She then worked for Big Five before her retirement. Sandra enjoyed watching the NBA (She also happened to be a fantastic basketball player herself in her younger years), sewing, watching old T.V. shows, and did lots of thrifting before thrifting was cool. Sandra is of the Baptist faith and loved the Lord.
Sandra is preceded in death by her parents; Calvin and BoPeep Cleveland, her beloved sister; Patricia (Pat) King, sister-in-law; Terri Cleveland, along with Salli's father; Bud Argo.
Sandra is survived by her loving daughter; Salli Vaughn and husband Mark of Lone Grove, Oklahoma, grandchildren; Whitt Wilson and wife Kaitlin of Lone Grove, Oklahoma, and Boyer Olson of Lone Grove, Oklahoma, one great- granddaughter she adored; Holland Wilson of Lone Grove, Oklahoma, brother; Harold Cleveland of Deland, Florida, nieces and nephews; Shari Condict, Traci King, Christopher Cleveland, Kendall Cleveland, and Shane Cleveland. Along with numerous extended family and dear friends.
Sandy was a joy to everyone she knew. She loved life and people. She never met a stranger and her smile lit up a room.
The family would like to offer a special thank you to Dr. Colleen Kennedy and May's Hospice of Ardmore for all that you have done for Sandy and well as the rest of the family.
A funeral service to celebrate the life of Sandra will be held on Saturday, December 20, 2025, at 11:00 A.M. at Brown's Funeral Service chapel in Durant, Oklahoma with Robert Peterson officiating.
A committal service and burial will follow at Green Meadows Cemetery in Atoka, Oklahoma following the services in Durant.
Services are under the direction of Brown's Durant Funeral and Cremation Services.

Sandy will be missed by us all. I have fond memories of growing up with her and my cousins. She was indeed a good high school basketball player. I remember getting to see he at the Wells family homeplace east of Caddo where we gathered for Thanksgiving dinners. Sadly, I will not be able to attend the memorial service due to health. We will have you in our prayers.
