Obituary
SANDRA PAULENA HICKMAN BURT
As her family members sang her favorite hymns at her bedside, Sandra passed from this world to her eternal life with Jesus on Thursday, February 28, 2008. Born in Chicago, IL to Carl and Doris Hickman, Sandra began her life on September 13, 1945, at a mere three pounds but quickly made her presence known to all who loved her. Her parents, brother, and sisters shared a household that cultivated a love of music and laughter in Sandra, which she in turn shared with her children, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. Her easy smile and infectious laughter are of fond memory to all who loved her. Her presence as the "spark plug" of family gatherings will be sorely missed.
On May 8, 1965, Sandra married Carl "Bud" Burt and adapted well to Navy life. Her weekly letters to Bud as he served his country overseas were met with a return letter, which were always addressed to his "Lovely Lady." As a mother to Lisa and Kathy, Sandy always taught a complete reliance on the power of Lord with the oft-repeated, "The name on the door of your church matters not. It is the name upon your heart and that name better be JESUS." Sandy's grandchildren, Mitchell, Dylan, Lucas, Lindsay, Donny, Isaak, Isaiah, loved her with a vengeance as she did them.
Sandra is survived by her husband, Carl "Bud" Burt; two daughters and sons-in-law; Lisa and Nick Carrillo of Midfield, TX and Katherine and Ray Carrillo of Bay City, TX; six grandsons, Mitchell, Dylan, Lucas, Donny, Isaak, and Isaiah; one grand-daughter, Lindsay; two sisters, Shirley Potempa of Chicago, IL and Carol Schneider of Asheville, NC; and one brother, Ron Hickman of Midlothian, VA. She is also survived by a host of nieces and nephews who dearly loved their "Aunt Sandy." Her parents preceded her in death.
A family and friend celebration will be held 7:30 p.m. Sunday, March 2, 2008, at Taylor Brothers Funeral Home in Bay City, TX. A funeral service will be held on Monday, March 3rd at 10 a.m. at Nichols Street Church of Christ in Bay City, as well. The family will follow with a private interment at a later date.
