Sandra was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend whose love and kindness touched every life she encountered.

She is survived by her beloved husband, Gordon Fulghum; daughters Becky Roberts (Shawn Woodward) of Alamo and Kim Howard (Curtis Howard) of Stanton; and stepdaughter Whitney Fulghum of Memphis. She was the proud grandmother of BethAnn Spotts (Dylan), Jake Roberts, Tyler Howard, and Christin Sharp, and was eagerly awaiting the arrival of her first great-grandbaby, Waylon James Spotts. She also held a special place in her heart for her favorite great-niece, Angelia Watson, who lovingly called her “Mum.” Sandra is also survived by her siblings Danny Watson (Marcia), Earnastine Tinsley (Charles), Geraldine Hoskins, and Joann Dowdy (Ronnie). She was preceded in death by her parents, Lloyd and Christine Watson, and her sister, Stella May.

Sandra was a dedicated homemaker, finding joy and fulfillment in caring for her family and her home. She was known for her boundless generosity, her big heart, and her ability to make everyone feel loved and welcomed. Her life was defined by the love she poured into others, and her legacy of warmth and compassion will live on through her family and all who knew her.

She will be deeply missed and forever remembered by her family, friends, and community.
