Sandra Bumgardner Wilson

Sandra Bumgardner Wilson peacefully flew into the arms of her Lord and Savior at 4:22 am on February 9, 2022.

She was born October 31, 1944 in Gaston County, NC. Family, friends, and everyone she ever came in contact with was always greeted with She Is "Blessed and Highly Favored". And she truly was Blessed and Favored. Sandy had been homebound for several years but her faith, love, and smile never wavered. She was a beautiful wife, mother, sister, grandmother, aunt, and friend to everyone. Her witness, love, and guidance will be missed but never forgotten.

She is proceeded in death by her husband of 36 years, Martin Luther "Junior" Wilson, Jr., parents William Pressley Bumgardner and Faye Childers Bumgardner Lovelace, sister Beverly Bumgardner Scruggs, grandparents John Emmet and Ethal Farris Childers, Ed and Hattie Bumgardner, brother in law Dean Moore, stepson Randy Wilson, brother and sister in law Charles and Colleen Wilson and brother in law Robert Wilson.

She is survived by her sister Wanda Moore, brother Jeff Lovelace and Grace, brother Bill Bumgardner, sister Denise Holland and Bobby, step father George Lovelace, brother in-law Howard Scruggs, sister in-law Judy Wilson, stepsons Danny Wilson and Scott Wilson and Lane, like a sister Aunt Joyce Roark and Don, grandsons Joe Wilson and Julie, Brad Wilson and McKenzie, her precious great grandchildren Annie and Lily Kate Wilson, and Shephered and Gryffin Wilson who were her pride and joy. Her extended family of nieces and nephews, her very special niece Deanna Brown and Joe, Susie Graham and Kenneth, Ryan Lovelace, Mandy Patton and Tony, Terra Ross, Jennifer Wright and Gary, Fleet Wilson and Lisa, Baron Wilson and Sharon, Leeann Bridges and Michele, Robert Wilson. Other great and great-great nieces and nephews of her family she loved are her coffee buddy D Martin and Scott and kids Ashtyn, Cadyn, and Kensen, who spent lots of nights with Aunt Sandy, J Basilan and Ben, Tyler Chapman and Meredith and daughter Olivia, Caleb Hughes and Amber and kids Railey, Kye, and Parker, Cailyn Van Buren and Eric and kids Wyatt and EJ, Beth Queen and Justin, Hannah Morris, Lilly Ross, Fleet "Chip" Wilson Jr. and so, so many more. Sandy was a member of Faith Baptist Church for more than 50 years joining on July 21, 1971. She served and wore hats of so many positions. Her love for music, teaching, fellowship with her church family and others made her heart joyous. She loved the old hymns and Gospel music. She would invite anyone she knew or met and even gave rides for anybody who needed them. Her Pastor J.R. Robbins and wife Patty along with her entire church family were her heart. Sandy worked many years at the Margrace Mill where she became a bookkeeper. This job was her lifes work. She joined the Kerns Trucking Company early in the business and became part of the Kerns Trucking family. Worked there until she retired after more than 35 years. She became the care giver to her sweet husband Junior until his passing. She was care giver to her mother Faye Lovelace until her passing. Her house became the rehab center for the family. Her home was always open to anyone who needed a place to stay. No one ever was turned away. And because of the great place her house is located, it was the place to always stop and visit. She always had a blessing to share and love to give and loved to be around people. She had her own medical issues over the years. But she continued to share her Lord and Savior everywhere she could. She became homebound and never a day passed that she missed a chance to still share when she could. There is no one like her and her sweet smile, true heart and Godly witness and love will be missed. God's love surely shown through her.
