Sandra V. Anderson, 76, of Mexico, passed away on Wednesday, December 3, 2025 at The University of Missouri Hospital in Columbia.

No services are planned at this time.

Sandra was born on August 16, 1949 in Florida, the daughter of Lester S. Dewey and Jacqueline A. Smith.

She found joy in the simple, everyday moments—spending time with friends and family, shopping and wandering through flea markets in search of hidden treasures, and relaxing with her tablet in hand. She cherished the years she spent with her Orscheln work family, where she made countless memories and lifelong friendships. Always on the go and happiest when she was busy, she filled her days with purpose, energy, and the people she loved most.

Survivors include her nephew Troy Nolan of Benton City; two nieces, Dana Murphy of Benton City and Kaylea Morrison of Austin, Texas; two great-nephews, Travis Nolan and Logan Murphy; one great-niece, Halee Nolan.

Sandra was preceded in death by her parents, Lester and Jacqueline Dewey; one son, Dean Travis; one sister, Sherry Payne.

The family requests memorial donations be made to the American Cancer Society. Memorials may be sent in care of Arnold Funeral Home, 425 S. Jefferson, Mexico, MO 65265

Arnold Funeral Home is serving the family.
