Sandra Merrill Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
She was predeceased by her beloved mother, Ina Hoffman-Ward; her brothers, Carl and Ricky Ward; and her longtime companion, Henry Rouse.
Sandra is survived by her two devoted sisters, June Hoffman and Kathy Ziggler; her seven cherished children: Robert (Chrissy) Ward, Angel Bond, Rose Merrill, Willie (Latesha) Rouse, Charlie Rouse, Henry Barzee, and Beverly Bond. She also leaves behind 22 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren, all of whom she loved deeply and protected fiercely.
Sandra was very protective of her children and grandchildren, always putting their well-being first and standing by them with unwavering support.
She found joy in life's simple pleasures-puzzling, video gaming, and her love for Elvis Presley. A devoted animal lover with a special fondness for unicorns, Sandra also enjoyed fishing, camping, music, and movies. Her playful spirit and strong, loving presence will be deeply missed.
Calling hours will be held on Thursday, September 4th, from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM.
She will be remembered always with love.
