Sandra Durham, daughter of Kit Eby, was born May 10, 1941, in Dayton, Ohio and departed this life on September 3, 2015 in Dexter, Missouri. 

Sandra was a resident of the Dexter, Missouri area for many years since retiring in the 1990’s. Prior to moving to Missouri, she raised her sons in the far northwestern suburban Chicago area.

Sandra was a retired school bus driver, but also held many other honorable positions over the course of her working life including that of a sought after, talented hair stylist. She loved to sing and even though it was never an actual profession, she found great joy later in life by sharing this ability alongside her friends in the choir.

On June 30, 1988, Sandra was united in marriage to Junior “JR” Durham in Bloomfield, Missouri.

Sandra was preceded in death by her husband JR Durham; her father Robert Eby; her brother Michael Eby; and her daughter Sharon Hansmann. 

Sandra is survived by her mother Kit Eby; her three sons, Dennis Hansmann, Donald Hansmann and Douglas Hansmann; her grandson Nathanial Hansmann; her great grandson Turner Hansmann; her Aunt Tootsie Friece; her nephew Matthew Eby; her niece Kelly Eby; three great nephews; and many cousins.
