Sandra Martin Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Chapman Funeral Home - Hurricane on Jan. 30, 2026.
Sandra Kay "Sandy" Martin 59, of Milton, WV, entered her Eternal Rest peacefully on January 25, 2026 at home after courageously battling an extended illness, surrounded by the love and comfort of her family.

Born on April 15, 1966, in Charleston, WV, she was a daughter of the late Virginia "Bunny" Williams and Richard Michaels. In addition to her parents, she was also preceded in death by her loving stepfather, Charles "Chuck" Taylor.

Sandy was known for her radiant smile and her unwavering devotion to those she loved. Her greatest joy in life was being a mother and grandmother. She leaves behind a lasting legacy of LOVE, remarkable resilience, and unbreakable strength.

She is survived by her soulmate, best friend, and partner through life: Frankie Martin; daughters: Heather Meade (Steven) of Barboursville, WV and Amber Martin of Winchester, KY; sister, Melissa Gandee (Mike) of Nitro, WV; grandchildren: Caedyn Lou Bledsoe (Wyatt), Allison Meade (Layne Reams), Jeremiah Ruby, Nicholas Meade, Johnathan Martin, and Emma Ruby; great-granddaughter, Daisy Mae Ruby; and a great-grandson on the way.

Sandy had a profound connection to her family, notably her sister-in-law, Kimberly Beaver (Kipp) of Culloden, WV; and brother-in-law, David Martin of Culloden, WV. She loved all of her nieces and nephews endlessly: Austin Beaver (Emily), Tony Doniff (Kasandra), Braylon and Carter, Briana Holton, JR, and Zoe.

Mom, we are grateful to have shared joy in the sun, shelter in the storms, and to have laughed in the same moment. We Love You

To my wonderful mommy, you have always been there through my good times and my bad. I'm going to miss you every single day that I'm still here on earth. You have taught me so much my beautiful mommy. I know that you will be watching over me from heaven and I know you'll be there to create my wonderful Daddy when he goes. I want to thank you for loving me unconditionally for being my best friend for listening for taking care of my babies. We have been through so much together and you have taught me how to be a wonderful mother I'm so sorry that you had to struggle for so long mommy. Have so many wonderful memories of us playing in the flowers together and making morning breakfast. I'm going to miss watching you and Daddy dance in the kitchen. How the holidays will never be the same. I will continue to make you proud. Come see me every now and then in my dreams. Oh how am I going to miss the smell of your sand and sable and the leather coat that you used to wear. Thank you Mommy thank you for loving me thank you for always being there and thank you for being an angel here on Earth and now God has an angel a very special angel in heaven. I love you with all my heart and soul and a part of me will never be the same a part of me is gone forever. But I know that I will be in heaven right there with my mommy. And until that day comes I will remember all the good times and I will try so hard to make more memories that way you can watch over me. I love you my mommy with all my heart
