Her passions were traveling the world to experience places and cultures, entertaining, gardening, and caring for her home in Sierra Madre, lovingly known as the 'Lil Red Shack'. In her later years, she also became enamored with kayaking with her son Steve. Her compassion for others and unselfish nature extended to her very active volunteer work with several non-profit organizations and causes, including the Friends in Deed Women's Room, and the Friends of the Sierra Madre Library, for which she tirelessly served in officer and board capacities. She dearly loved her family and friends. Sandra was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend.

Sandra was preceded in death by her husband, Ronald Lee Dickey, and her parents Francis Glenn Brown and Sara Halliburton Brown. She is survived by her sons, Stephen Walter Goodfellow and Brett Robert Goodfellow, five grandchildren, six great-grandchildren, her sister Stephanie Jo Brown and countless loving extended family and friends. Services will be held on Sunday, June 23, 2019 at 1:00 p.m. at The Episcopal Church of the Ascension, 25 E.
