Sandra Cheryl Armstrong, age 77, a resident of Elba, Alabama, passed away on Saturday, September 12, 2026, at her home surrounded by her family. Graveside services will be held at Evergreen Cemetery on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, beginning at 11:00 AM with Rev. Donnie Marler officiating. Burial will follow under the direction of Hayes Funeral Home.

Sandra will be remembered for the joy she brought into the lives of others. She made the world a better place simply by being in it. Known as the life of the party, she carried an upbeat, happy spirit that lifted those around her. She was never afraid to sacrifice a bit of dignity if it meant bringing laughter to others. Becoming a single mother at an early age taught her the independence and determination that shaped her life. She embraced hard work, rarely sat idle, and faced every challenge with resilience and readiness. Her devotion to her family was unwavering, and she remained committed to ensuring their needs were met.

Her grandchildren were her greatest joy, and she proudly supported them throughout their lives. Seldom did she miss a game, cheering them on as they competed in various sports. Her presence, encouragement, and love will be deeply missed.

Sandra leaves behind her daughters, Sonya Briggs (Dean) of Brantley, AL, and Tana Wells of Brantley, AL; her grandson, Holden Pruitt (Lia) of Brantley, AL; her granddaughters, Lainey Eiland (Justin) of Brantley, AL, and Lindsey Wells (Kendrick Welch) of Brantley, AL. She is also survived by her great-grandchildren, Camilla Pruitt, Ember Pruitt, Wyatt Eiland, and Sawyer Eiland, all of Brantley, AL; her sister, Charlene Sanders of Coffee Springs, AL; and her brother, Gary L. Talbot (Deanne) of Colorado Springs, CO.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Bessie Marie and Charles Talbot, and her sister, Carla Szymanski.
