Lois G. Sanders

Mrs. Lois Louise Gregory Sanders, age 96, of 117 Partridge Rd., Union, passed away Saturday, February 25, 2023 at her home surrounded by her family. She was the beloved wife of the late Thomas Lee Sanders for 71 years, and Grandmother not only to her family but to all who knew her.

Mrs. Sanders was born in Union, November 18, 1926, a daughter of the late George H. Gregory, Sr. and Lois Bevis Gregory. She was a devoted homemaker and a member of Sardis United Methodist Church. Her family was her most precious possession, cooking for all to gather in a home filled with love and kindness. Granny, as all called her, was the Atlanta Brave's biggest fan and she kept stats on the team in her notebook. She was always there for the kids who played baseball with her grandson. She even carried some as far as Florida for a tournament.

Granny will be greatly missed by her family and all who knew her. "We love you Granny".
