We didn't know that morning that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone; For part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide; And though we cannot see you, you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same. But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.
DeDe Sullivan said: "Now that I look back, I am just amazed. Mom went without new clothes or anything fun when we were younger, while Shelly and I had it all. She somehow managed to make it on a teacher's salary with 2 kids, pay the bills, feed us and keep the big house in Sugar Creek. She sat up many nights worrying about losing the house and really missed Grandma (Angela McNutt) after she passed. She would pick up the phone and cry and talk to her when she thought we weren't around. She was a really strong woman even though she thought she was weak. She was amazing and I hope I am strong like her some day! I know she sent me strength to get through her memorial service, I would have never made it otherwise."
Mom loved to read Uncle Remus and Brer Rabbit to us and make up all of the funny voices as she went! Good memories of our bedtime stories!!!
She always loved music, but her favorite song was "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong.
Linda McNutt Wyatt said:
"My memories of Sandra are many. She was my idol and my hero. Being just a little older than me, I really looked up to her. She had the beautiful bedroom and a "piano" in her room. Imagine that. She and her Mom were always so kind to share her clothes with me. When I wore her clothes, I felt very special. After we go much older, and when it was cool, we would go off by ourselves and smoke. We always had something to talk about. Sandra, you died way too young. Those damned old cigarettes !!"

I wanted to add all of the messages left for us by Mom's friends. They still make me cry!!

It is with much sadness that I learned of the passing of Sandra McNutt Sullivan. Live across the street from the McNutt family during my childhood. Sandra Kay was a good and positive person. Many great memories of the family, especially of Angela and Guy L. Additionally, have fond memories of Mrs. Joerger, Angela's mother.
The Joerger-McNutt-Lindsey familes are the best.

Both of you always had a smile on your face, so warm and friendly to all. I have heard nothing but kind remarks about you both through the years. You have many friends in the community that will be there for you. You will miss Sandra greatly, but look forward to new life in the birth of her grandchild.

You will miss her. She stood for so many things in your lives. She was a role model to so many as a student, friend,a community-minded neighbor, and parent. In high school, she was always in the newspaper,leading the cheers at football games, waving from a float, or decorating for teen dances. She had so many loyal friends. She was a gift to all of you and you a gift to her.

We had some fun at Texas ,because I would see her often.We remained friends until after our marriage ,but over the years have lost contact.I remember her as young,fun,a great dancer,a lively cheerleader,and a beautiful presence.My condolences to the family...I assume her bratty brothers grew up into great human beings......and hope they inherited the McNutt genes...My thoughts are with you.

I grew up idolizing Sandra (my cousin); she's one of the main reasons I went to UT. Sandra was always friendly to everyone and always made me smile (although when I was little, she convinced me that thunder was going to eat me—that makes me smile now). She loved her daughters and grandson very much; anytime we visited, she loved talking about each of them. I know she's looking down on us and waiting for the day her granddaughter joins us.

I was so deeply saddened to hear of the death of Sandra McNutt.We went through school together,lived a couple of blocks apart,and even dated a bit. We had some fun at Texas ,because I would see her often.We remained friends until after our marriage ,but over the years have lost contact.I remember her as young,fun,a great dancer,a lively cheerleader,and a beautiful presence.My condolences to the family...I assume her bratty brothers grew up into great human beings......and hope they inherited the McNutt genes...My thoughts are with you.

I grew up idolizing Sandra (my cousin); she's one of the main reasons I went to UT. Sandra was always friendly to everyone and always made me smile (although when I was little, she convinced me that thunder was going to eat me—that makes me smile now). She loved her daughters and grandson very much; anytime we visited, she loved talking about each of them. I know she's looking down on us and waiting for the day her granddaughter joins us.

We didn't know that morning that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone; For part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide; And though we cannot see you, you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same. But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.
DeDe Sullivan said: "Now that I look back, I am just amazed. Mom went without new clothes or anything fun when we were younger, while Shelly and I had it all. She somehow managed to make it on a teacher's salary with 2 kids, pay the bills, feed us and keep the big house in Sugar Creek. She sat up many nights worrying about losing the house and really missed Grandma (Angela McNutt) after she passed. She would pick up the phone and cry and talk to her when she thought we weren't around. She was a really strong woman even though she thought she was weak. She was amazing and I hope I am strong like her some day! I know she sent me strength to get through her memorial service, I would have never made it otherwise."
Mom loved to read Uncle Remus and Brer Rabbit to us and make up all of the funny voices as she went! Good memories of our bedtime stories!!!
She always loved music, but her favorite song was "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong.
Linda McNutt Wyatt said:
"My memories of Sandra are many. She was my idol and my hero. Being just a little older than me, I really looked up to her. She had the beautiful bedroom and a "piano" in her room. Imagine that. She and her Mom were always so kind to share her clothes with me. When I wore her clothes, I felt very special. After we go much older, and when it was cool, we would go off by ourselves and smoke. We always had something to talk about. Sandra, you died way too young. Those damned old cigarettes !!"

Sandra and I both had boyfriends at A&M and spent a lot of time trying to find a way to go see them. She was a very sweet person and a lot of fun. I will always remember her fondly. May the God of all consolation be with you as you mourn her loss

Having grown up with Sandra, I will always have wonderful memories of the great times we had. We lived less than a block apart on sixth street and shared many fun times in and out of school. My condolences to her family. God's love will see you through.

My first date was in junior high with Sandra. She was a good friend and will be missed. May the blessings of Jesus Christ be with Sandra always. S.A.

I was so deeply saddened to hear of the death of Sandra McNutt.We went through school together,lived a couple of blocks apart,and even dated a bit. We had some fun at Texas ,because I would see her often.We remained friends until after our marriage ,but over the years have lost contact.I remember her as young,fun,a great dancer,a lively cheerleader,and a beautiful presence.My condolences to the family...I assume her bratty brothers grew up into great human beings......and hope they inherited the McNutt genes...My thoughts are with you.

So sorry to hear about Sandra's passing. I know you will all miss her. Gaye is correct...she was always smiling and seemed genuinely happy. Our prayers and thoughts are with all of you.

I grew up idolizing Sandra (my cousin); she's one of the main reasons I went to UT. Sandra was always friendly to everyone and always made me smile (although when I was little, she convinced me that thunder was going to eat me—that makes me smile now). She loved her daughters and grandson very much; anytime we visited, she loved talking about each of them. I know she's looking down on us and waiting for the day her granddaughter joins us.

Oh, I am so sorry to hear of your Mother's passing. She was a wonderful teacher and she always had a smile to share with her students at Meadows Elementary.
