Sandra "Sandy" Jeanne Thompson

January 25, 1943 - May 11, 2020

Graduated from Earth to Heaven

Sandy was born in Attleboro Massachusetts January 25, 1943 to Kenneth and Ruth M. Conrad. Jesus, her savior, took her hand and led her home to Heaven on May 11th, 2020.

Sandy worked for Harris Corporation in Melbourne and Palm Bay Florida as a Quality Control Engineer retiring in 2008. She was part of Harris projects which enabled the United States Space exploration, Satellite Communications, the Stealth aircraft and other important projects we will never know about. Her job called for her to travel extensively across the United States. In Sandy’s travels she made lifelong friends, touched many souls, and led many people to Christ.

She was an active member of the Tabernacle Church of Melbourne for many years, through her ministry she had Bible studies in her home, through the prison ministry she coordinated cookie drives for youth prisoners and encouraging letters to adult inmates. She made time to teach children with special needs to read. She had a heart for those who were hurting and dedicated her life to ministering to many people one-on-one.

She relocated to San Antonio Texas where she was a faithful member of First Assembly of God and Faith Assembly of God in Orlando Florida, as she would travel between the two cities to see her children and grandchildren.

It was common for her to reach forward touching the person in front of her during service and sharing a word that would touch their soul. God loves her so much and so do we. I remember one of the first times we were at Faith Assembly in Orlando, Mom reached out to a young lady and told her Jesus loves her. The young lady wept softly as my mom led her to Christ. This is exactly how my mom’s ministry was throughout her life.

She leaves a legacy of love to her family: Marty her sister (Bud); Daughter: Marcia, (Jeff); Son: John (JoAnn); Grandchildren: Bryce, Zachery, John Daniel, Joshua, Jacob and Abigail. She also leaves an example of deep faith in Jesus her savior for the family to follow and because of the joy of the Lord in her life many lives have been enriched.

Sandy was a mighty woman of GOD; what a treasure we had in our lives.

Some of the things she said she was most glad she tried were, writing, fishing, reading, crafts of all kinds and even riding a horse.

When asked why her life was blessed she said, “I have family who love me - even though I am far from perfect”.

A celebration of her life will be held at Faith Assembly of God 9307 Curry Ford Road, Orlando Florida 32825 on Saturday June 6th from 11:00am – 12:00pm in the Chapel.
