Sandra was born November 11, 1943, the youngest child of Robert Alton Pentecost and Willie Mae Mathis Pentecost. Sandra was a Hokes Bluff Graduate - class of 1961. Upon graduation she married her high school sweetheart, James Edward Lee and proudly moved with him and supported him during his time in the Marine Corps. She received her RN degree at GSCC in 1980; having chosen to go back to school while also being a full time mother of four active boys. She graduated with honors just one week after her oldest son graduated high school. She was an incredible mother; a beautiful, charismatic, caring, strong woman, and an amazing nurse.
Sandra was preceded in death by her parents and 4 older siblings, her soul mate and husband James E. Lee (2015), son Timothy “Tim” Cabot Lee (2010) and son Gregory “Greg” Brent Lee (2018).
Sandra is survived by her son John Alton Lee (Kelli), son Scott Edward Lee (Karen), granddaughters Jessika Lee Miller (Justin), Savannah Lee Wallace (Spencer), Bella Rae Lee, Anna Mae Lee, Morgan “Mitchi” Childs, great granddaughter Lee Caroline Miller and great grandson James William Wallace, as well as her brothers and sisters-in-law and numerous nieces and nephews from the Pentecost, Gann, and Lee families. All of whom were beyond special to her.
Sandra’s strength and love as a mother, family member, friend and caregiver was greater than that of “Natural Laws”, she was unmatched in her support of those that she loved. Her contribution to family and friends never stopped and she will always be the “Matriarch” to those that knew and loved her.
In lieu of flowers the Family requests that donations be made to the Alabama Head Injury Foundation.
The family also would love to invite all family and friends to a Celebration of Life for Sandra on what would have been her and James’ 61st wedding anniversary this year, May 13, 2022. We will hold the celebration beginning at the Winery and will post complete event details no later than April 4th, 2022. We will NOT have any memorial service at this time.
Special thanks to Sandra’s brother-in-law John Alonzo Lee – she depended on him every day.
Love you Mom, Nanny!!!
