Sandra Kathryn Stephens Brown
- Clemson, SC
Our Sandra Kathryn Stephens Brown left us way too soon, on September 1, 2012 at only 64 years of age. From the time Sandy began bandaging dolls, she knew that she wanted to be a nurse. She devoted many years to her calling as an OB/GYN nurse. She was a healer in every respect, from bruised egos to mediator, she encouraged us all be to be our best selves.
Sandy was a true Southern Belle�?�.with a brown belt in Karate. Though she took up Karate at the age of 49, she went on to win two second place trophies at world competition in New Orleans. She loved non-political tea parties, beach hats, her Charleston inspired home, and STYLE! She had a love for anything she-she fa-fa, and adored her cat Daisy. Sandy loved to entertain and designed her home with that purpose in mind.
Most of all, Sandy loved her family. She was the daughter of Bill and Mildred Stephens, and grew up in the Atlanta area but also lived in Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and finally, California. She moved from the Manhattan Beach area to Clemson in 2006 to care for mother, until her death in 2008. Family who will miss her substance and spirit include her daughter, Laura Diethelm (David); sisters Suzi Westmoreland (Jim) and Linda Collins (Bart) plus nieces, nephews and their awesome children. She has "Friday night" friends as well as her sister by choice, Mary Margaret Dobson.
Memorials may be made to the GHS Children's Hospital (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) 701 Grove Road Greenville,SC 29605
A "Friday Night" celebration of her life will be on, September 7 from 2 PM to 8 PM, at her home where friends and loved ones will remember her with stories, laughter, and hugs.
"Your time is limited, so don�??t waste it living someone else�??s life. Don�??t be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people�??s thinking. Don�??t let the noise of others�?? opinions drown out your own inner voice, heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."
