Originally from Wisconsin, Sandra joined the military and traveled to many locations, before meeting her husband, Otto Urban, in Fort Benning (now known as Fort Moore). They traveled to Hawaii and had their two sons, Paul and Brian Urban, before returning back to Columbus and establishing a beautiful life and home together.
She was a devoted member of Pinehurst Baptist Church, where she served many jobs and responsibilities. There, she and her dear friend, Anita, spent their time caring for its members. Many years later, Sandra became a loving grandmother to three granddaughters, Maria, Emily, and Julianna Urban, and gave the rest of her life devoted to her family and friends.
She is survived by her husband of almost 50 years, Otto P. Urban; her son; Brian, her sisters; Teddi and Barbara; and her granddaughters; Maria, Emily, and Julianna; in addition to several nieces and nephews.
She is preceded in death by her grandmother; her parents; her sister, Sharon; and her son, Paul.
