Publish in a newspaper
Sandra (Sandy) Annette Hudson, formerly West, of Winter Haven, Florida, passed away peacefully at Lakeland Regional Hospital, November 4, 2025, at the age of 65. Born on October 3, 1960, in Theberton, England, Sandra lived a life full of love, laughter, and devotion to her family.
After growing up in the countryside of England, she relocated to the United States at the tender age of 21 after meeting and marrying the love of her life, Bob. Over the next 44 years, she got to do what she loved the most, raise her children and take care of her family. She dedicated her working life to public school special needs children. Her patience, compassion and kind spirit touched the lives of countless students and families.
If you wanted to find Sandy, you typically didn't need to look far from her garden, where she curated her place of pleasure. Sandy loved Jesus, her cats, friends and traveling to new places.
Sandra is preceded in death by her parents, Dixie and Frances, and sister, Irene. She is survived by her loving husband, Bob; her sons, Bobby (Kortni) and Frank (Brittany); her cherished grandchildren Delilah, Noah, Ella, Lane, Calvin, and Willa; and siblings: Richard, Frances, Phillip, Dayne, Sue, Lee and Aldrin.
A service to honor and celebrate Sandy's life will be held on Saturday, November 8, 2025, at Oak Ridge.
Family and friends will be received beginning at 10:00 a.m., with the service following at 11:00 a.m.

Sandy, a consummate gardener, lover of all nature, cats, trivia, friends, and family, will be so missed. I'll miss her wisdom, wit, and friendship, and what a friend she was. I'll always remember our lunches at True Blue Winery and White Oak Cottage, trivia at four different venues, she and Bob dressed as Pebbles and Bam Bam for Halloween, her chicken salad, letting that Cadillac run free on the back road to Lithia, fun gambling with faux money at the Seney's, potting orchids, her getting a big black snake out of my house as Bob and I hid behind cardboard, Christmas parties at my house, stories of her early life in England where she and her eight siblings made up most of the student body at their school, stories of her years at Lake Elbert Elementary, all the places she and Bob have lived, and just life. Most importantly, we shared our faith and love of Jesus in whose love she eternally rests.

I knew Sandy for several years at Elbert elementary school She was such a great friend and always talked about her grand children. We would compare our stories of our grandchildren and laughed and smiled as we talked. She loved the children she got to work with and they loved her. She always supported the teachers and was always willing to help whenever you asked her. I loved and appreciated her so much. I will be praying for all of her family during this difficult time. I will miss Sandy greatly DebbieBillings
