Throughout her life, Sandra demonstrated an unwavering faith and a profound dedication to both her family and her community. For many years, she was an active and committed member of First Southern Baptist Church in Clarksville, Indiana. There, she enriched the lives of countless individuals by worshiping, serving, and teaching children and adults alike, embodying the essence of spiritual guidance and nurturing fellowship.

Sandra pursued a professional path, devoting her talents to teaching and administration at Graceland Christian School and Christian Academy of Indiana, where her efforts have left a lasting imprint on the institutions and the many students she helped shape.

Her personal life was marked by the blessings of love and companionship. Sandra was united in marriage to two faithful Christian husbands, the late John Anderson and Pastor Bryan Ragan, who shared her commitment to faith and family.
