Let the light in you remove the darkness

Obituary

Sandra Gail Hiatt, 61, of Flemington, Missouri, passed away peacefully on April 6, 2026. She was born in Arkansas and grew up in Missouri, where she spent most of her life surrounded by family and community.

Gail dedicated much of her career to being a barber and proudly owned and operated a barber shop alongside her parents. Through her work she built lasting relationships and friendships with many in the community.

Above all else, Gail loved her family. She especially enjoyed watching her children and grandchildren play sports and cheering them on from the sidelines. She was known for her passionate heart, caring nature, and the deep love she had for those around her. Her kindness and devotion to her family will be remembered by all who knew her.

She is survived by her loving husband, Stephen Hiatt; her three daughters, Vanessa(Travis), Mindy(Michael), and Wendi(Braden); her sister, Tammy Goff; her grandchildren, Saige, Myla, Maxon, Seth, Landon, Cooper, and Theodore; and her great-grandchild, Violet. She was preceded in death by her parents Wendell and Sandra Corley. 

Gail’s memory will live on through the many lives she touched and through the love she gave so freely to her family and friends.

Gail was one of the 1st people I met, when we moved to Wheatland. She was the sweetest, kindest, most loving lady. Immediatly, we were friends. I have missed her, sense she left Hickamo, and so happy that I know I will see her again.

My mom was one of the strongest women around. The amount of pain and suffering she had to deal with in her life would be enough to break the average person, but not her. She still showed up for everyone around her with a smile on her face. She was a beautiful soul and certainly one of a kind. I don’t know how to go on without her. Life will never be the same. Mom - thank you for being such a strong and beautiful woman for us to look up to. If I can be half the woman you are, I will be happy. I will forever love and miss you.

I first met Gail when the TNT store opened. Being a friend of the owner and just wanting to fit in with the girls, I said something so off the wall, it took them all back. I looked at Gail and winked and she put the heartiest laugh!! She you and I are going to get along great!! And we did. I got to know the whole family while I was there. When we moved to KC, I would often stop by the other store just to see Gail and get my hug. She was absolutely a joy. It's said that when someone passes away, if you have nothing but good memories, that is a blessed relationship. I was blessed to have Gail as a friend and I hurt for the entire family.

Gail and her mom used to cut my boys hair back in Higginsville probably 30 years ago....they were always good with them and Gail and I remained friends mainly on FB but she was a great person! May God wrap his loving arms around your family during this most difficult time......

I was a nurse visiting 3 special needs women when I met Gail. She was a gem! So loving and kind to all of the women. She was also so helpful to me during my daughter’s illness. I’m so sorry for such a loss to the Hiatt Family.
