Sandra Sue “Sandy” Warner-Jenkins, age 74, of Caseyville, passed away Sunday, February 26, 2023 at home surrounded by her loving family.
She was born January 16, 1949 in E. St. Louis, a daughter of the late Trinidad T. and Shirley M., nee Kaemmerer, Cruz. She married David L.H. Jenkins on October 18, 2002 in Carlyle and he preceded her in death on April 1, 2014.
In addition to her parents and husband, Sandy was preceded in death by a sister, Patty Russell; and step-father, Raymond Chesney, Sr.
Sandy is survived by her children, Michele (Matt) Wasser and Mark (Tammy) Warner all of Caseyville; grandchildren, Mason and Madasyn Wasser, Zac and Gracie Warner; siblings, Trina (Terry) Rea, Raymond “Bro” (Kris) Chesney, and Lisa (Dwayne Rives) Chesney all of Caseyville; brother-in-law, Paul Russell of Caseyville; nephew and nieces, T.J. Rea, Tory Rea, and Tammy (Jason) Waliglorski; “furry babies”, Elvis, Annie, Ollie, and Milo; numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins; and a special friend dear to her heart and “big sister”, Josephine “Wee” Manley.
Sandy formerly worked in medical records at St. Mary’s Hospital in E.
