She is also preceded in death by parents, James Franklin and Emmer Mittie (Herrin) Sanders; brothers, Mavis, Dorville, Jimmy, and Johnny; sisters, Lorena and Nell.

She is also survived by a brother, Tommy Sanders, Flower Mound, TX and sisters, Burn Gunn, Minden, LA, Barbara Walls, McLoud, OK and Judy Gammon, Broken Bow, OK. She also leaves behind numerous brother and sister-in laws, nieces and nephews and extended family. The family is deeply grateful to her friend and caregiver, Lisa Wilkerson, the staff of A Life of Service, and her nurse and aides from Emerald Hospice. Polly had a wicked sense of humor with an infectious giggle that made everyone she came in contact with feel like family. She was a long time member of Dickson Baptist Church working in the church nursery for many years and cooking at Falls Creek. She loved to make German Chocolate Cakes during the Holidays and give them as gifts. She also made homemade Spaghetti Sauce and invited many friends and family for dinner. Polly spent her early married life as a homemaker and later was employed by Oklahoma City Public Schools as a cafeteria worker at Spencer Elementary and Star Spencer High School. She was loved by all her students and after retirement would often run into them receiving a warm greeting and big smile. Her deep faith was rooted in service to God and to others. Many were touched by her kindness, gentleness and faithfulness. She will be greatly missed by family and friends.
