OBITUARY

Sandra Ann Leroux, affectionately known as Sandy, passed away peacefully on November 9, 2026, surrounded by her loving family. Born on November 20, 1941, in the city of New Orleans, Louisiana, Sandy was the cherished daughter of Mr. Edmond and Ms. Dorothy Leroux. She was preceded in death by her beloved parents, her brother Dr. Marvin Leroux, her former spouse Charles G. Sirmans Sr., and her daughter-in-law Tassie N. Sirmans. 

Sandy leaves behind a devoted family, including her son Charles G. Sirmans Jr. and his wife, Lea Sirmans. Her legacy continues through her four treasured grandchildren, Charles G. Sirmans III (Corey) wife Raegan Sirmans, Corinne Crewey, husband Michael Crewey, Joyceanna Sirmans and KJ Sirmans, as well as her great-granddaughter, Tassie May Sirmans.

Sandy was born with a heart defect. Doctors told her parents that she would likely not live to be a teenager. However, cardiology developed, and as she grew up, new procedures were discovered. These surgeries helped her to live a long and fruitful life. She was followed by Emory Hospital in their Adult Congenital Heart Group. She was the 2nd oldest patient that they were following. 

A woman of great intellect and determination, Sandy earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Loyola University New Orleans. Her professional life was devoted to serving others through her work at the VA Hospital and the CDC, where she dedicated 30 years of her life to improving the lives of countless individuals. 

Sandy's faith was a cornerstone of her life, and she was an active member of the First Christian Church of Atlanta and Monroe, as well as Corinth Christian Church. Her generous spirit and commitment to her faith community were evident in her passion for visiting people, writing thoughtful cards, and serving at various church events.

In her leisure time, Sandy found joy in the simple pleasures of life. She was an avid reader, a passionate traveler, and a keen birdwatcher, often finding beauty and solace in the world around her. Her quick wit and warm smile endeared her to all who knew her, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of her family and friends.

A memorial service to honor and celebrate Sandy's life will be held on November 16, 2026, at 1:30 p.m. at Corinth Christian Church, located at 1635 Hwy 81, Loganville, GA 30052. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to the Center for Integrative Dementia Research and Prevention in South Bend, Indiana, or to Dolly Parton's Imagination Library in memory of Sandy's compassionate and giving spirit and her love of reading. 

Sandy's life was a testament to love, service, and faith. Though she will be dearly missed, her legacy of kindness and dedication will live on in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know her.
