Sandra Kay Craig of Belgrade, Missouri, was born on September 9, 1945 in Corning, Arkansas, a daughter of the late Leonard “BC” and Eva (Harley) Collins. Sandra went to her heavenly home on Monday, November 6, 2023, having reached the age of 78.
Those who remain to cherish her memory include her children: Mark Parks, James Stewart (wife, Sandy), Nola Borage, Dawn Stewart; grandchildren: Jimmy Bove, Jarred Stewart (wife, Brittney), Brittney Balek (husband, Richard), Carly Tierney (Fiance, Gabe Gibson), Hannah Stewart, Alyssa Stewart, Brian Hamm, Ryan Moyers, Emily Moyers; great-grandchildren: Jace, Jayde, Casey, Mia, Marlee, Leo, Hudson, Blake, Adeline, Ada; and brother, Norman Collins.
In addition to her parents, Sandra was preceded in death by her husband, Norman Dean Craig; siblings: Arley Collins, Darlene Mayfield, Danny Collins, Ronnie Collins, and James Collins.
Sandra Kay Craig was a matriarch. Really, the regal leader in her family. Sandra is a mother to 4, a
grandmother to 7, great grandmother to 10. She had three main loves; her family, her animals and the
Lord – 4 if you include her sweet tea. She loved telling stories of her past and memories she has made in
her lifetime. To say her strength is admirable is an understatement. There wasn’t a person around that
she wouldn’t help even in times where she wasn’t 100% herself. She stayed true to her religion and
believes until the very end and that shows how devoted she was as a disciple of Christ, a person, a family
member and a friend. She is forever a special part of anyone that has had the pleasure of meeting her.
Remember her contagious smile, hugs and belly laugh. That is Sandra.
