Elwood "Sandy" Earl Sanders Sr. 89, of Port St. Lucie, FL, passed away on January 13, 2022, after a brief illness.
Born in Holly Ridge, North Carolina, to the late Ned and Mary Sanders, he joined the Army after graduating from high school, and then went on to a career with AAFES where he started as a trainee and eventually attained its highest rank, a true rags to riches American success story. He was a man of faith who loved God, and he was loved by all who knew him.
Sandy's legacy lives on through his beloved wife, JoAnn; children, Sandy Jr., George, and Scott; 8 amazing grandchildren; and many wonderful family members and friends. We remember well his charm, humor, exceptional good-nature, hard-earned wisdom, and motivating words of encouragement. We will miss him very much.
