Sandra (Broaddus) Carron, 72, of Raymond, died in early morning of Wednesday, Sept. 25, 2024, at St. John’s Hospital, surrounded by her loving family, spouse, children, in-laws and out-laws, brothers and family.
Funeral services will be held on Saturday, Sept. 28, at Pleasant Hill Christian Church starting at 1 p.m. A visitation will be held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the church. Burial will take place after the services in Asbury Cemetery in Raymond. Pastor Dave Ziegenbein will be officiating.
Mrs. Carron grew up in Raymond, a daughter to George and Helen (Ragland) Broaddus. Growing up a Broaddus meant family was everything. She and John Carron were married at the United Methodist Church on Oct. 15, 1972.
Mrs. Carron was employed for 50-plus years as a “hair-burner” and a bus driver for Panhandle #2 School District for 25 years, where she cherished her school age friends, pre-K to high school. The Panhandle students of all ages adored ‘Mrs. Sandy.’ She was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend to all,
Mrs. Carron loved playing bingo, having fun with her cousins, socializing with the Lincolnwood class of 1970, playing Mrs. Claus and watching ballgames, especially the ones that involved her grandchildren or the Lincolnwood Lancers. She was well known for her larger-than-life personality, bright smile and warm hugs, and was a proud breast cancer survivor. “Sis” never met a stranger and there was never a dull moment when she was around. Sandra leaves a legacy in the Panhandle community as a front row rooter and #1 Lancer fan, and was always known to give you a good “zoooop” to say hello.
Mrs. Carron is survived by her husband John Carron of Raymond; daughter Jacquelyn (Wendell) Weatherford of Butler, son Jeremy (Jennifer) Carron of Harvel and son Jeff (Amber) Carron of Raymond; five grandchildren, Jaylynne, Jocelynne, Jesse, Brooklynn, Jordynne, and a bonus grandson Justin Weatherford, brother Mick (Sally) Broaddus and niece Lindsay Pope and family, brother Rick (Dana) Broaddus and nephew Nathan and a clan of extended family members. She, Mick, Sally, Rick and Dana were inseparable until the end.
She was preceded in death by her son Joseph; and parents George and Helen Broaddus.
