Obituary

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Sandra Gail Gentry, who left this world on April 29, 2026 at the age of 71. She was a beloved mother, sister, grandmother and friend whose kindness, strength, and love touched everyone who knew her.

Sandra was born on August 16, 1954 in Greenville, Florida, and spent her life devoted to her family, friends, and the people she loved most. Her life was rooted in caring for others.
