Sandra Wilcox Obituary
She is survived by eight children (Suzanne, Aleksandr, Daniel, Lyndee, David, Jared, Kevin, Julia), her pride and joy. She was our devoted protector, teacher, and friend, whose life was full of faith and purpose.
Born into a large military family, Sandra had a fondness for travel. From living in Japan as a child to studying abroad in Mexico, from road-tripping across the U.S. to serving a mission in Brazil, and from running marathons in Utah to adopting children in Siberia, she packed her life full of stories and experiences, and an appreciation for cultures, languages, and peoples.
As a full-time stay-at-home mother, she filled our home with music, art, learning, and laughter. Along with supporting our talents and dreams, she also made sure to take time to develop her own, and became a skilled gardener, gifted house designer, and award-winning author.
Sandra had a profound love for Jesus Christ and His gospel, and for the people she served in her church callings. She trusted her Father in Heaven deeply. Even amidst debilitating hardships, He always blessed her with guidance and happiness. We are so grateful to God that we will get to see our mama again.
A celebration of her life will be held at the Olive Ward building, 525 E 2nd Ave, Mesa, AZ 85204, on Saturday, January 10, at 9:30 a.m. (MST) and visitation will be at 8:30 a.m. prior to the celebration.
