With profound sadness and heartfelt love, we announce the passing of Sandra Kay Jones, who departed this world on April 13, 2026, at the age of 81. Born on July 1, 1944, in Flint, Michigan, Sandra was a beacon of strength, love, and joy to all who had the privilege of knowing her. She leaves behind a legacy of warmth and kindness that will be cherished by her family, friends, and community. Sandra was the cherished daughter of the late Helen and Clifton Filmore. She was predeceased by her devoted husband, William, her brother, Fred, and her beloved great-niece, Kristen. She is survived by her loving son, Jeremy, her daughter-in-law, Jerri, her caring daughter, Elizabeth, and her adored grandsons, Austin (married to Marley) and Scout (married to Hannah). Sandra's spirit lives on in her great-granddaughters, Jolie and Harper, who will carry forward her legacy of love and resilience. A dedicated public servant, Sandra worked for the City of Flint, a career that spanned three decades until her retirement. Her commitment to her work was only surpassed by her dedication to her family and community, where she poured her heart into every endeavor. Sandra's life was a testament to the joy of living fully and passionately. She found immense happiness in the simple pleasures of life—spending cherished moments with her family, attending her grandsons' sporting events, and creating memories at her treasured lake house. She was a skilled craftswoman, whose hands brought beauty into the world through her crafting projects. Her love for games, particularly Mahjong and card games, was shared with a close-knit group of neighbor ladies, whose friendship she held dear. Known for her unwavering faith and Christian values, Sandra was a source of great advice and support to all who sought her counsel. Her laughter was infectious, her spirit indomitable, and her ability to find joy in the everyday was unparalleled.

Sandra faced her final days with the same courage and grace that defined her life, battling cancer, heart disease, and a recent stroke. Her strength was an inspiration to all, a testament to her enduring spirit and love for those around her. As we gather to celebrate Sandra's life, we remember a woman who was not only a devoted mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, but also a steadfast friend and a cherished member of her community.
