Her later years were spent with her beloved husband, Jessee Bebee, who preceded her in death.
She is survived by her five children, Danny Mitchell of Fall River, Kansas, Darrell Mitchell and his wife, Lisa, of Ocala, Florida, Teresa McConnell of Fall River, Kansas, Lisa Miller of Joplin, Missouri, and Julie Beck of Ocala, Florida. Her lineage includes fourteen grandchildren, twenty-five great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild. Sandy also leaves behind two siblings, Mike Oxford and Sharon Thomas, both of Joplin, Missouri, as well as several nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Jessee, three grandchildren, and twelve siblings.
