Sandra Kay Parker departed this life on Wednesday, November 19, 2025, at her home, surrounded by her loved ones.

She was born July 11, 1947, to the late Elbert and Marie Parker in Pocahontas, Arkansas.

Sandra loved books and was an avid reader, often starting a book only to realize she had already read it. She was a huge baseball fan and loved cheering on her Cardinals. She enjoyed traveling, and she and her sister enjoyed many tour bus trips together over the years. Sandra’s career path took her in many directions, but her most beloved job was that of cafeteria director at BRTC, where she especially enjoyed feeding her LETA boys.

Sandra was preceded in death by her parents, Elbert and Marie Parker; daughter, Dawn Boyles; siblings, Steve Parker and baby brother, Stanley.

She leaves behind to mourn her passing her children, Greg Boyles, Vickie Hampton, and Brent Boyles; nine grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren. She also leaves behind a sister, Sheila Jackson and her husband, Sammy, along with numerous nieces, nephews, and other loved ones and friends.

Her family honored her wishes of cremation and a Celebration of Life/graveside service to be announced at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in her memory to the Randolph County Library or the BRTC Foundation, or a charity of your choice.
