Georgia Cremation - ColumbusSandra Hancock Obituary
She is survived by her siblings: her brother Ronnie Hancock and his wife Norma, her brother Alan Hancock (preceded in death by his wife, Nancy Hancock), and her sister Penny Hancock, as well as many beloved nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews.
Sandra was a private person who valued her independence and the quiet comforts of life. She spent a meaningful season living in California, where she made special memories and friendships, before returning home to Columbus. She enjoyed listening to the Goo Goo Dolls, watching movies, taking pride in her Jeep, was known to appreciate a nice handbag or two, and had a lifelong love for flamingos. More recently, she found enjoyment in her weekly visits with her siblings, which meant a great deal to her.
A celebration of life will be held at the Phenix City Shrine Club, February 21, 2026 at 2pm est.
She will be remembered for the simple joys she loved and the life she lived on her own terms.
Georgia Cremation 6 Columbus is assisting the family with the arrangements.
To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

I'm so very sorry to hear of Sandra's passing. It just seemed like yesterday that we talked. I will miss our texting and phone calls. They were few and far between but it was always like we just picked up where we left off. We had so many great memories and laughs. She just texted me about a week or so before her passing and said, "I'm watching your favorite movie -Grease." I told her I had seen it a million times and she said she knew. When a song came on that reminded us of each other, we would text one another, basically to say we were thinking about each other. I've known her for about 47 or 48 years. I will miss her so much. I'm so glad I got to visit her three years ago when I was in GA for a visit. Love you, my friend. RIP. You will never be forgotten!
