Sandy Hensley Obituary
Sandy lived for her family. She was a wonderful wife and a beloved mother and grandmother. She loved watching her grandchildren. She was a dedicated grandmother; rain or shine, she attended every college football game for her grandson. Sandra retired in 1997 from AT&T where she worked many years. She was able to spend the last 4 years before retirement working side by side with her daughter, Kelly. Sandy spoke her mind and was often referred to as feisty, many have said they will miss the energy she brings to a room. Sandy truly loved everyone and she will be deeply missed by all who knew and love her.
Sandy is survived by her husband: Dennis Hensley; her children: Dennis Lane Hensley Jr., Kelly Ann Hensley, and Donald Scott Hensley; her grandchildren: Giovanni Purpura, Stephano Purpura, and Tyson Moss-Hensley; her siblings: Don (Lucky) Gray and Linda Duggan; and many brother & sister-in-laws, nieces, nephews, and cousins.
She was preceded in death by her parents: Lester and Thelma Gray; and her sister: Sheila Panek.
