From her birth in Morehead City on January 6, 1943, to her death on Thursday, Sandra lived a life dedicated to loving and caring for her close family and devoted much of her time and energy as a caregiver to family members, including her husband, Glen Arthur, who passed away in 2003, and her mother, Rubie Garner, who passed away in 2011. She was also preceded in death by her father, Vernon P. Garner. Her interests included gardening, reading, and decorating, but she will be most remembered for her quick wit and sense of humor.
