It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Sandra Lee O’Brian, who went to be with the Lord on September 1, 2024, at the age of 83, surrounded by her loving family in the comfort of her own home.
Born on July 8, 1941, in Greenville, Mississippi, Sandra was the cherished daughter of Neva Jean Smith and George Ramphrey. Sandra was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and friend to many. She was a long-time member of Temple Baptist Church and retired from the Kroger Company after 30 years of dedicated service.
