Obituary of Sandra Lee Milks

Sandra Lee Milks passed away peacefully on March 3, 2024, at her home in LaBelle, Florida, at the age of 82.  She was born on September 24, 1941, in Melbourne, Florida.

Sandra, known to her loved ones as Sandy, was a devoted wife to Teddy for 66 years.  She was a loving and supportive wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend whose home was always filled with warmth and hospitality for family and friends.  She was a true family matriarch in every way. Sandy’s culinary skills were legendary, with her made-from-scratch biscuits, fried cornbread and Brunswick Stew being cherished by all.

In her free time, Sandy enjoyed cooking, reading, solving crossword puzzles and tending to her plants.

She is survived by her loving husband, William T. Milks; daughter, Theresa Milks Barber (Dave); grandchildren, Tonya Podubynskyj Wilkins (Travis), Billy Podubynskyj (Tanya), Margaret McCormick, Baylen McCormick (Alari), and Ella Barber; great-grandchildren, William T. Podubynskyj (Brianna & Cypriss), Easton Wilkins, Mia McCormick, and Teddie Jo McCormick.  Sandra was preceded in death by her parents, Joseph and Margaret Futch, her daughter Jodi Milks, her grandson Johnathan Podubynskyj, and her great-granddaughter Rachel Wilkins.

A Celebration of Life will be held on April 27, 2024, at her home in LaBelle.  In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to Hope Hospice in memory of Sandra Milks or to The Barron Library in LaBelle.  

Sandra will be dearly missed by all who knew her, but her memory will live on in the hearts of those she touched.
