Sandra “Sandy” Yvonne Infinger Reagan

Sandra “Sandy” Yvonne Infinger Reagan

Sandra “Sandy” Yvonne Infinger Reagan passed away peacefully on Thursday, August 13, at her home in Geneva, Alabama. She was born in Red Bay, Florida, April 30, 1944, to Hughie Infinger and Bertha Montgomery Infinger. She was a graduate of Walton High School – Class of 1962. After high school she moved to Geneva for work. It was there at a church social she was introduced to Donald “Wayne” Reagan and they married in 1964. Sandra and Wayne recently celebrated 62 years of marriage.

Sandy was a loving wife, mother, sister, aunt, and (where she found her greatest joy) Nana to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. As the mother of four, she gave her love freely to family, friends, neighbors and total strangers alike.  She was a compassionate woman who loved helping others and her motherly advice was sought by many. She was someone you wanted to be around, to befriend, to sit with and enjoy long talks. She filled a room with sunshine from her bright eyes and her smile.

She served her community as a courthouse clerk in both the tax collector’s and the land assessor’s offices. Her personality was infectious and you most likely walked out of the courthouse with a smile on your face and a new friend after visiting Sandy, even if you had only come in to pay a bill.  Sandy also served as a Scout Leader/Mom for both Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts and a Geneva Band Mom, providing life skills to our community’s youth. A devoted antique collector, she turned that passion into a small business of her own. Her children still remember weekends spent combing antique stores for rare pieces of Depression glass.

Sandy led a life guided by God. She served her church family as a United Methodist lay speaker, sharing her faith from the pulpit with warmth, humility, and a conviction that steadied anyone who heard her.  She gave freely of her time and her heart, asking nothing in return. She was a committed, faithful member of Pleasant Ridge United Methodist Church in Samson and Maple Avenue Baptist Church in Geneva.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her sisters, Danna Brooks (Jimmy) and Suzy Green, brother-in-law Bill Stewart, sister-in-law Lorraine Reagan, and her granddaughter Molly Arizona Pettis.

She is survived by her husband, Donald Wayne Reagan of Geneva; her four children, Shanna Brock (Ricky) of Geneva, Jason Reagan (Alison) of Geneva, Stacie Pettis (Johnathan) of Geneva, and Nicholas Reagan of Pensacola, FL; her siblings, Rodney Infinger (Anita) of Freeport, FL, and Camy White (Richard) of Hartford; her sister-in-law, Redetha Stewart of Mobile, her brothers-in-law, Bill Green of DeFuniak Springs, FL and Royce Reagan (Jackie) of Marianna, FL; her grandchildren, Colton Pettis (Nikki) and Reagan Pettis; her great-grandchildren, MollyAnn and John River Pettis; and numerous nieces and nephews.

The family would like to express their deepest gratitude for the earthly angels that walked with them in caring for Sandy, Mrs. Misty, Mrs. Tara and Mrs. Nicole.

A celebration of life service will be held on Monday, August 17 at 6:00 p.m. at Warren Holloway Ward Funeral Home in Geneva, AL.  Visitation will precede the service with the family receiving friends beginning at 5:00 p.m.

Flowers are appreciated or the family would be grateful for donations in her memory to Pleasant Ridge United Methodist Church, in Samson, AL.
