Sandra (Sandy) Jayne Rooker, 88, left this earthly home on May 8, 2024 from Mansfield, Texas. She was born on May 16, 1935 in Grand Rapids, Michigan to Levi and Anne Green. Sandra married the love of her life James (Jim) Orin Rooker in 1955 and they had eight wonderful children together. She was the best mom in her children’s eyes and it was her greatest and proudest accomplishment to raise all of them. In her free time, she enjoyed gardening, crafts, and playing card games (often making up her own rules); but her true joy was time with her children and grandchildren and she soaked up every minute of it in pure bliss. Sandy will always be remembered for her faith in Jesus and belief that God can do anything. She knew that this faith would lead to eternal life with God and these present sufferings were only temporary. She was a strong and resilient woman and an amazing friend.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband James (Jim) Rooker.
Left to cherish Sandra’s memory are her children; Mike Rooker, Rod Rooker and wife Regina, LouAnne Paine and husband Tom, Tom Rooker and wife Trina, Jeff Rooker and wife Judy, Jim Rooker and wife Connie, Jerry Rooker and wife Andrea, and Debbie Roblez; 28 grandchildren; 25 great-grandchildren; 1 great-great-grandchild; And lastly by Teresa Barrosa-Fonseca, a dear friend, sister, and daughter adopted as a special part of this family.
Praise God for our Mom and her life well spent for a lasting legacy.
