Sandy was born October 13, 1944, in El Dorado, Ark., to Paul Mayhan and Birdie Lee (Fincher) Arnold. She loved being with her family, especially her grandchildren. She was faith driven and was full of God’s love. She instilled those values in her family. Sandy was a loyal friend and saw the best in everyone. She was a lover of local gossip, Missouri Lotto tickets and going out to dinner whenever the family was footing the bill! Her funny antics and off the wall humor will be missed. Her love and sense of humor will be missed but never forgotten.

She is survived by her children, Jeffery David (Tammy) Brown, Sherri Ann Jaouni, Chad Philip (Heather) Brown and Justin Lynn Rathjen; grandchildren, Tara Brown, Kyle (Connie) Brown, Tyler Brown, Brian (Alyssa) Jaouni, Yusif (Elisa) Jaouni, Ameera Jaouni, Marina (Brandon) Pollard, Alexis Brown and Marissa Brown; great-grandchildren, Jeremiah Brown, Jaxon Brown, Elias Brown, Savannah Brown, Jocelyn Jaouni, Grayson Jaouni, Boston Jaouni, Lukas Pollard, Landon Pollard and Layton Pollard; brothers, Donald Ray (the late Peggy) Arnold and Allen Dale (the late Terri) Arnold; and niece, Diana Burke; along with many beloved cousins, nieces, nephews and extended family and friends.
