Sandra Jean Kirby, born on September 5, 1944, in Telephone, Texas, passed away peacefully on July 27, 2025, at her home in Bonham, at the age of 80. She was a

beloved member of her community and cherished by her family.

Sandra married Bobby Kirby on June 14, 1975, in Telephone, Texas. The couple shared many joyful years together until Bobby's passing in 2006. Sandra was known for her

compassionate spirit and her love for her family.

An avid cross-stitcher, Sandra took great pleasure in creating pieces that not only reflected her artistic spirit but also brought joy to those around her. Her passion for

gardening showcased her nurturing personality, as she cultivated both plants and meaningful relationships with her loved ones. Additionally, her enthusiasm for crossword puzzles kept her mind agile and provided her with endless enjoyment, while her culinary skills delighted family gatherings.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Rayburn Jackson and Helen Mendenhall Jackson, husband, Bobby Kirby, Sons, Kirk Bell and Steven Bell, stepdaughter, Diana

Kirby, and brother, Mickey Jackson.

She is survived by her stepsons, Tony Kirby of Bells, Texas, and Sam Kirby (Leigh) of Henderson, Texas, stepdaughter, Donna Barnett of Henderson, Texas, daughter-in-law, Ruth Davis (Lisa) of Rockport, Texas, grandchildren, Chelsea Bell, Fannin Bell, Ben Kirby, Maria Barnett, and Crockett Bell. She will be deeply missed by all that knew her.

A graveside service will be held on July 30, 2025, at 10:00 AM, at Forest Grove Cemetery, in Telephone, Texas.
