Dr. Reginald Drew Sanders (Reggie) passed away on Saturday November 28, 2015 at the age of 68. He was a native of Kentwood, LA, graduated from Kentwood High School and LSU Medical School. He served the New Orleans community as a dedicated rheumatologist for the last 40 years. He was the beloved husband of Caroline Bingham Sanders of Baton Rouge for 42 years. He is survived by his 94 year old mother, Mary Elizabeth Sanders of Kentwood, his brothers Dr. Charles Woodford Sanders, Jr. of New Orleans, Bruce Wayne Sanders of Boulder, CO, and his sister Dr. Sherri Lynn Sanders of Austin, TX and a treasured family pet, Suzette (Bichon Frise). He is preceded in death by his father, Charles Woodford Sanders and a brother, Phillip Gregory Sanders, who died as an infant. During the past ten years, he courageously fought battles with cancer, but still retained his unique wit, intelligence, and joy of living and learning until the very end and tenaciously lived life to the fullest. He delighted in sharing his expertise and knowledge with others. He was a member of several carnival organizations, a devoted LSU fan and was somehow able to find something positive even in bleak circumstances. He was devoted to his family, friends, patients, colleagues, as well as his church family. Without fail, Reggie went above and beyond in all areas of his life, whether personal or professional. His was truly a life well lived. A memorial service will be held on Thursday, December 3rd at 3:00 pm at Munholland United Methodist Church, 1201 Metairie Rd. Visitation with the family and a reception will follow immediately in the Fellowship Hall at the church. In lieu of flowers, the family has requested donations be made in memory of Reginald Sanders to Munholland United Methodist Church or to the charity of your choice.
