Sandra was born in Pound, VA June 7, 1938 to the late Frank Durham and Mazie (White) Durham. Her childhood was spent being educated and growing up with her siblings and friends there. In November of 1956 she was married to Frankie May who was serving in the U S Army at the time.

They raised a family of six happy children; Glen, and his wife Shelia residing in Niceville, FL; Debbie, residing in Rockledge, FL; Gail, residing in Atlanta, GA; Rick and wife Sonny residing in Melbourne, FL; Randy and his wife Kris residing in Live Oak, FL; and Jeff and  fiancé Ashley residing in Lancaster, KY.

Mom is survived by her younger brother Harley Durham and wife Marie of Appalachia. She had a loving relationship with her 15 grandchildren; 49 great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews from all parts of the country.

Mom was educated and worked in the cosmetology field for many years before entering the medical field as a nurses aide, doing what she loved most, nurturing others. There she made many lifelong friendships which lasted throughout her life. She enjoyed her friendships, travel with her siblings and children, and was most proud of the special love she shared with her two grandsons Eli and Logan, who she became a second mother to. Our family reunions are where you would see her smile and gleam with pride for “ Her Family”.
