First and foremost, she cherished her family and family gatherings during the holidays. Furthermore, Sandra loved shopping, dancing, cooking, baking, and last but not least reading the Bible. She was a member of New Hope Congregational Christian Church.
Sandra was predeceased by her former husband Ronnie S. Grandison, parents, Doland Givens and Dorothy Boone, brother Michael Corner, sister Jeanette Givens and her favorite aunt Viola “Sweetie” Wilson.
She leaves to treasure her memories, her children Quince D. Givens, Anthony O. Story, Curtis W. Givens, Latasha O. Brown, Tomeka R. Givens, and Janay W. Newby. Grandchildren, Quince D.
