A graduate of Galena Park High School, class of 1965, Sandra spent 31 years working at the umbrella company American General, with a significant portion of that time at VALIC. When she left VALIC in 1998, she was in Senior Management. The latter part of her career was at Morrison Supply Company where she retired in 2012.
Sandra was preceded in death by her father, D.O. “Oscar” Chenault, Jr. and brother-in-law Dennis Wolfford, Jr. She is survived by her husband Mike Gresham, daughter Suzanne Tyrell, her husband David, and their children Ava and Wyatt Tyrell; daughter Tara Anderson and her husband Scott; mother Dorris Chenault; sister Susan Hinson and her husband Mickey; sister Renee Wolfford; and a host of nieces and nephews.
Sandra – or “Sassy” as her grandkids called her – dedicated many years volunteering in the North Shore Scarlet and North Shore Lady Mustang Basketball booster clubs with her girls. She also volunteered at her grandkids’ school – St. Ambrose Catholic School. Breast cancer tried to get Sassy in 1989, but she battled back and was cancer free for over 30 years.
In lieu of flowers, Sassy would appreciate donations to The American Breast Cancer Foundation.
