Ms Sandy was one of the sweetest person I have know. She was witty and always had a smile on her face. I volunteered with her at the hospital. She will be missed. RIP. May God's arms wrap around you during this time.

So many memories with Sandy. Her & Sam were such good (baseball) friends with my parents, Kenneth & Linda Pate. Cheered Shawn & my brother, Marty through many baseball games. Such a sweet lady, always a good time & great conversation. Knew everyone in Linden like I did….Condolences Stan & Shawn…..
I feel so blessed to have meet Mrs Wells, she will always bring a smile to my face when I think about our talks we had. She will be so missed. Prayers for her family.
I have a lot of pleasant memories from my childhood visiting with Aunt Sanny & Uncle Sammy. I loved when they came to Aunt Sharon’s in Dallas back in the good ole days and will always remember my first speeding ticket was me driving at age 16 to Linden to see the Wells family. Family get togethers at Claudine’s and of course the flower shop & hotel. Aunt Sanny was always going on and on about her grandchildren when we would talk on the phone from time to time. She loved her family and was very proud of her boys and their wives and children. She will be missed by many – and was loved by all – especially cousin Mark which mentions his Aunt Sandra Wells to me daily. Sending Love, Hugs & Prayers to all the family and friends that also knew and loved Sandra wells – please hug Uncle Sammy for us ?? 🙏🏼??🙏🏼?? Much love – Kellie Rae
