She was the Personal Secretary to Sam and Knox Ridley of Smyrna, TN, and was a resident of Smyrna, TN for over 50 years.
Sandra was a beautiful, smart, strong, generous, loving, spunky and funny woman. She was a wonderful wife, mother, sister, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She was also a fantastic role model. She loved animals, especially cats. Sandra loved to read, sew, and was interested in law and politics. Most of all, she loved her family. She will be sorely missed. Our world became so much dimmer when her radiant light was extinguished.
