Sandra Margo (nee Adams) Julien, 76, in God's loving arms on Monday, February 11, 2019. Daughter of the late John Reginald and Kathryn Blanche (nee Howard) Adams, Sr.; loving mother of Tracye (Eric) Donovan, Rene' (Aya) Julien, Jr., and Pierre (Krista) Julien and step-mother of Renee Mavrofidis and Halsey Julien; dear grandmother of Danica Donovan, Myles Peters, Lauryn Donovan, Rene' Julien III, Pierre Julien, Jr., Bethany Julien, Richard Julien, Christian Alarcon, Raylin Alarcon, Picasso Julien, Pantelia Mavrofidis, Ronald Julien, Halsey Julien, Jr., and Amalia Julien; dear sister of Kathleen (William) Hall, John Adams (Deborah) Adams, Jr., Karen (Christopher) Crenshaw, and the late Beverly Adams and Kevin Bond; step-sister of Louise Bourassa, Shirley Echols, and Willie Bond, and adopted sister Katherine Hagen; dear special aunt of Angela Adams and Cameron Clay; and a host of many other nieces and nephews and friends.
A graduate of Rosati Kain High School in St. Louis, Sandra became a registered nurse at Jewish Hospital School of Nursing, having worked as a nurse for over 40 years at John Cochran V.A., Deaconess/Forest Park, Normandy Osteopathic, St. Louis County Hospitals in St. Louis and retired from North Ridge Hospital in Fort Lauderdale, FL. She resided in Fort Lauderdale for 20 years before returning to St. Louis in 2017. She enjoyed reading, travelling, and swimming and will forever be remembered for her uplifting spirit.
Sandy was a very giving person with the rare ability to make friends anywhere she went. Her laugh was infectious and her love reached further and deeper than most of us could imagine. There was no reason to be sad around her and if you were she did her best to make you happy! Those who knew her loved her and those who never met her would have loved her just from hearing the stories about her. We all appreciated the fact that she was never wrong (smile).
Her love for her family was unconditional and there was nothing she would not do for any of us. She cherished Thanksgivings with her niece Lourdes and her family and their frequent phone calls. Sandy’s Florida friends were her extended family. She enjoyed their times together and most importantly the love they shared. Saying they meant the world to her would be an understatement.
Sandy’s final gift was the donation of skin grafts to help breast cancer survivors and burn victims. In lieu of flowers, we ask that donations be made to her favorite charity, St Jude’s Children’s Hospital.
SERVICES: The family will receive friends and neighbors from 12pm on Saturday, February 16, 2019 followed by a Celebration of Life at 1pm at Kriegshauser Mortuary West Chapel, 9450 Olive Blvd., Olivette, MO 63132.
