Sandra “Sandy” Diann Gregory, age 72, of Cornelia, passed away on Monday, March 4, 2024.
Born on January 13, 1952, in Holden, West Virginia, Sandy was the daughter of the late Carl Edward Johnson and Regina Delores Adkins Johnson. The family eventually moved to Indiana, where she met and married her beloved husband of 44 years, Dennis. Years later, Sandy followed her dad to Georgia where she worked in the family business, International Die, for over 35 years and eventually taking ownership when her father passed away. Sandy loved her family, especially her grandkids. She loved to spoil them and was the best “Mamaw.” More than anything, Sandy loved Jesus, and we are so grateful for the promise of our Lord that “to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.”
Survivors include her husband, Denny; her children, Robbie Padgett (Debbie), Matt Gregory (Jenny), and Amanda Gregory; and her grandchildren Abby, Cannon, and Emma Gregory. She is also survived by her brothers, Mitch Johnson (Peggy), Pastor Glen Johnson (Lori), and Doug Johnson (Kim), as well as many uncles, aunts, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends who loved her dearly.
Memorial services are 2 pm on Saturday, March 9, 2024, at Good News Baptist Church with Rev. Glen Johnson officiating.
The family will receive friends from 6-8 pm on Friday, March 8, 2024, at McGahee-Griffin & Stewart Funeral Home.
