BESSEMER CITY ~ Sandy Gregory was a daughter of Margaret Allman Johnson and the late Howell Crawford Johnson. She was preceded in death by sister, Debbie Santora.
Sandy was an Exceptional Children's Teacher for Gaston County Schools for 24 years working at Bessemer City Central, Woodhill, Arlington, Tryon, and Costner Elementary Schools. Sandy enjoyed teaching children at the churches she was a member. She was a member of First Baptist Church in Kings Mountain. Her motto was not to let a child go hungry physically or spiritually. She wanted the best for each child and for them to apply themselves to their maximum ability.
Sandy's final step was to help mankind with the cruel disease of Parkinson that had taken her father, Steve's mother, and Steve's grandfather. Steve's sister, Sharon, currently has Parkinson. She has fought Parkinson since 1997 and she wanted to make a major difference in research by donating her brain to the University Of Miami Miller School Of Medicine Miami Institute for Human Genomics. Sandy hoped that the research could save many who suffered as she did along with giving advance notice to her three children if they were in danger of having Parkinson.
