She is also survived by her ten grandchildren - Brad, Brittany (Ryan), Brooke (Daniel), Dylan, Justin, Baleigh (Adam), Kendall, Abby, McKenzie, and Kinley; as well as five great grandchildren, Landen, Karleigh, Rhett, Beau, and Jaxon.

Sandra is preceded in death by her father, James Payton; mother, Irene Payton; four brothers, James, Johnny, Raymond, and Larry Payton; sister, Linda Gamble; son-in-law, John Swaney; and daughter-in-law, LeAnne Spivey.

Sandra will be greatly missed by her loving family and beloved pets, Ellie Mae and Buttons.
