Sandra Downs
Sandra Downs, resident of League City, and later Friendswood, Texas, went to heaven on Tuesday, June 30, 2020 at the age of 85.
She was born on March 7, 1935 in Collinsville, Illinois to Vernon and Betty Wendler.
A Collinsville High School graduate, Sandra began work straight out of high school, first starting as a phone operator, and eventually working for the railroad.

Sandra is survived by her son James Robert Downs, daughters Jan Elizabeth Downs and Kim Alicia Downs, brother David Wendler, grandchildren Caleb, Seth and DeLaney and many other loving family and friends.
