Sandra Moore
In Honor and Memory of Sandra Moore
Sandra celebrated life in the sun. Whenever she could, she would get outdoors to garden an impressive landscape and absorb the sun’s rays.
She wasn’t afraid of getting her hands dirty.
A dedicated volunteer in educational and hospital settings, Sandy dedicated much of her time to organizing and caring for others. As a natural conversationalist, she was great at running meetings. Everyone loved her, and anytime someone had difficulty meeting their volunteer obligations, Sandra would step in and put things right. Ultimately, she became the director of all volunteers at (St John Broken Arrow?) Hospital. Her favorite post was in the hospital gift shop, where her effervescent personality shone. After her husband Del’s retirement, volunteering became an activity they could do together, running errands for Broken Arrow Neighbors, a local food pantry, and Angel Tree Kids at Christmas time.
Sandra navigated her MS with grace, while dedicating her life to making sure others always felt cared for. When her daughter, Megan, was diagnosed with MS, she knew she could look to her mother both as a beacon of hope and of support.
Drawn to positivity and exuberance, Sandy naturally gravitated towards people who shared her ideals in caring for others. She attended a couples Sunday school and found it easy to make friends. She and Del became very close with another family with whom they would take adventurous vacations with. Colorado was close to Sandy and Del’s heart. Sandra lovingly tended their cabin’s garden while drinking in the sun.
What really made Sandy shine were her grandchildren (and the rest of her family of course!) Even on her most difficult days, a quick facetime would bring light to her eyes, and family holidays brought a special kind of joyful glow.
Sandra Moore’s compassion and generosity continues to radiate today as all who know her hold her memory close.
Special thanks go to Sandra’s devoted husband Del Moore, and loving daughter Megan Rogers for sharing their memories with the National MS Brain Bank.
