Sandra Maureen Sessums
9/23/1941 - 9/6/2021
Sandra Maureen Mailliard Sessums was born to Margaret Jean Sayre and Roy Elwood Mailliard in Meadville, Pennsylvania on September 23rd, 1941. She peacefully passed on September 6th, 2021, from Covid 19.
She wed the love of her life, Grady Sessums on June 8, 1960. He passed on May 17th, 2017, giving them 56 wonderful years together.
She enjoyed her work as a banker for many years, until she and Grady created the RV storage lot. At this property they shared with family and helped to raise and create memories with their grandchildren. They eventually retired and chose to roam the country in their camper, exploring the U.S. and visiting friends and family. They retired in Texas, occasionally moving to be closer to family or friends.
Sandy was a larger-than-life personality. Her muttering of jokes under her breath, the knowing looks she could give, and the sharp wit she held was always a source of laughter. She always had a joke or comment to keep you on your toes. She was a giver, of love, of gifts, of laughter. She was crafty, both in arts and paint, but also in her mind.
She is survived by her two grandchildren: Steve Sessums Jr. (Randy) and his wife Megan Sessums, with great-granddaughters Kaylee and Rylee Sandra Sessums whose middle name is after her great grandmother which tickled Sandy, and Katy Sessums and great grandson Damien Sessums. Her grandchildren will miss her very much.
Sometimes we are not born into a family but find them throughout life. Melissa Vasquez and her husband Justin, along with children Hunter and Tucker Vasquez were that to Sandy. This particular family brought so much fulfillment and love to her last years. Sandy will be very missed in their household.
She left behind many friends and family, Randy Mailliard and his wife Elaine, who had shared not only wonderful years of memories with Sandra but also God with her in the last year. She will be missed by Mignonne Mailliard, Shannon Diggs, and close family friends Nancy and Dan North.
No services are scheduled as per her wishes, she will reach her final resting place next to Grady in Center Point Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in her honor to Former Texas Ranger Foundation. Donations are accepted through The Texas Ranger Heritage Center, www.trhc.org, mailing address: PO Box 3195, Fredericksburg, TX 78624.
