Sandra Smith

Sandra Smith, known affectionately as Sandy, passed away peacefully on March 11, 2026, in Wesley Chapel, Florida, at the age of 79. Born on August 19, 1946, in Daytona Beach, Florida, she lived a life marked by quiet dedication, love for her family, and a deep commitment to serving others.

Sandy spent many years working for the State of Florida, where her diligence and reliability were widely respected. Her greatest joys came from caring for her family and her beloved animals, who remained constant companions throughout her life. She took special pleasure in making beautiful gift baskets, which she lovingly delivered to residents in nursing homes, offering comfort and kindness to those around her. A woman of strong faith, Sandy was an active member of the Women’s Club at her church and faithfully attended Christ Church/Forest Park Church in Valdosta, Georgia, where she formed meaningful friendships and contributed to her community.

She is survived by her loving daughters, Krista Bledsoe and her husband Lance, and Bethany Moon and her husband Drew. Sandy was the cherished grandmother of Alexis Spurling and her husband Chase, and the proud great-grandmother of Mallory Spurling. Her loyal canine companion, Ed (Noodle), and her adored cats, Twinkie and Cali, will miss her dearly.

Sandy’s warm spirit and generous heart touched everyone who knew her, and she will be fondly remembered by her family and friends.
