Sandra Lee Burgess, 65, of Brown City, formerly of Stagecoach, Texas died March 14, 2016. She started on her adventure with God on September 19, 1950 in Sandusky, Michigan.
Sandra was preceded in death by her mother Wilma Schriber Burgess in 1996, sister Norma Burgess Gilpatrick in 2011 and father Delbert C. Burgess in 2013.
She is survived by her niece Heather Leystra Elmore of Stagecoach, Texas and great nephew Matthew Lee Elmore, as well as many aunts and uncles and an abundance of of cousins and countless dear friends all over the world.
Sandra was a member of Abiding Faith Lutheran Church in Pinehurst, Texas.
After graduating from the University of Michigan in 1977, Sandra started working at Aetna Life & Casualty in Houston, Texas. Two years later she left Aetna to begin her 32-year career at Tomball Regional Medical Center as a unit secretary/monitor tech in the Critical Care Unit.
Sandra gives credit for her well known capacity to remember trivia as well as details of your life and as many details of everyone's life from weddings to baby names... to a lifetime of travel, music and movies. Her friends would often say, "It's up to you to remember all this," and she did.
She visited all 50 states, several European countries and a handful of Caribbean Islands.
Music and movies were always part of her life. They really came alive with the pop culture explosion of 1963 when, as it so happened, she contracted Transverse myelitis. Being turned every two hours in the hospital with her transistor radio on, she listened for the Beach Boys, the Supremes, and, of course, the Boys from Britain.
The days that TV came into play, classic films with Katherine Hepburn and Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell, were shown along with commercials for The Great Escape and The Pink Panther and of course, Bond... James Bond.
A gathering of family and friends for the viewing begins Saturday March 19, 2016 from 2:00 – 8:00 p.m. at Carman Funeral Home in Brown City.
Funeral services will be 1:00 p.m. Sunday March 20, 2016 at Carman Funeral Home with a visitation before the service from 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
