Sandra Gail Gentry

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Sandra Gail Gentry, who left this world on April 29, 2026 at the age of 71. She was a beloved mother, sister, grandmother and friend whose kindness, strength, and love touched everyone who knew her.

Sandra was born on August 16, 1954 in Greenville, Florida, and spent her life devoted to her family, friends, and the people she loved most. Her life was rooted in caring for others. She was a courageous woman with a gentle heart, an infectious laugh, and a special way of making everyone feel comfortable and welcome wherever she went. Sandra found her greatest joy in loving and caring for those around her, and her warmth, laughter, and unwavering love will remain in our hearts forever.
