Sandra Smith Obituary
She was born Aug. 30, 1941, in Keokuk, the daughter of Raymond Edwin Sr. and Vieva Dirth Dodge.
Sandra was united in marriage with Melvin Smith. He survives.
For many years, Sandra worked at Keokuk High School, serving both as a custodian and a study hall monitor. She took pride in her work and enjoyed being part of the school community until her retirement.
Sandra had a true love for antiquing and treasure hunting at local auctions. Her home reflected her unique decorating talent and her appreciation for beautiful things. She collected everything from fine jewelry to antique furniture and elegant glassware. She also had a sharp eye for a bargain and cherished the conversations she shared with fellow antique enthusiasts.
In addition to her husband, she is survived by her son, Jeffrey Dale of Keokuk, and her four-legged companion, Snuggles.
She was preceded in death by her parents and her brothers and sisters.
In honoring her wishes, cremation has taken place, and no services will be held.
Vigen Memorial Home in Keokuk, is assisting the family with arrangements.
Online condolences may be sent to the family at www.vigenmemorialhome.com.
