Sandra McKinnon

Sandra Lee McKinnon (Sandy) was called home to be with Jesus on Thursday May 30, 2024.  Her life was a beautiful reflection of her gentle soul. Sandy was born on December 12, 1970 to Billy and Ruby Lee. Sandy was a 1989 graduate of Dublin High School. Sandy completed Heart of Georgia Vocational School for accounting and later in life she went to Middle Georgia College for a change in vocation and completed her Occupational Therapist Assistant degree. Sandy always demonstrated a strong work ethic.

Sandy was a devoted mother to Julia McKinnon, Ethan McKinnon, and David McKinnon. They were her reason for everything. Sandy is survived by her sister Cindy Lee Simpson (Chuck) and her brother Mark Lee (Carmela). Sandy was once married to Rob McKinnon for 18 years and was well loved. She is preceded in death by her mother Ruby Hemphill Lee. Her father Billy Lee will continue to cherish her memory. The family pet, Sammy, will miss her terribly.

Sandy had a host of nieces and nephews that loved and respected her. Sandy was adored by her aunts and uncles. Sandy’s friends and co-workers were committed to loving and caring for her. During her relentless battle with cancer, the community of Laurens fiercely fought for her with love and prayers.

Sandy’s greatest legacy will be her children and her faith. Her kids adored her, she was their best friend and they were hers. She had an adventurous soul, and always wanted to see and do things she had never done before. She lived with such deep meaning. Sandy was very purposeful. She never stopped believing in love. She carried the hope of Jesus Christ in her heart. Sandy was a woman of grace. Her standards were high and she expected the same from her people. Her strength was a light in the darkness right up to the very end. The joy of the Lord was her strength.

Some of Sandy’s last words were “I’m not giving up; I’m just laying it down.” This world was a much better place with her in it. Her family and friends will never stop missing her.

“To everything there is a season. And a time to every purpose under the heaven: a time to weep, a time to mourn. A time to dance.”  Ecclesiastes 3: 1 & 4
