Sandra Elizabeth Griffin

Sandra Elizabeth Gaddis Griffin, 85, passed into the presence of Jesus on April 27, 2025 in Arlington, TX.

Sandy was born on January 6, 1940, to Raeford and Mary Gaddis in Asheboro, NC. She graduated from Asheboro High School in 1958. Sandy married shortly after graduating and became the ideal Marine Corps wife. She worked in retail for much of her adult life and loved going to the Dallas Apparel Market where she had many longtime friends. Sandy loved the Lord and was active in her Sunday School class until she became physically unable to attend. She enjoyed listening to gospel music and watching church service on television. In recent years, she developed a love for drawing and coloring pictures of animals, flowers and fashion. No matter what she did, she did it with great passion and a love for life…and always in fashion and with plenty of “BLING”.

Sandy is preceded in death by her husband, Lt. Col. Bill Griffin, USMC Retired; sons, Dan Griffin and Dave Griffin; her parents, Raeford and Mary Gaddis; her sister, Mollie Rae Brown of Asheboro N.C. and her brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Jerry and Suzanne Sanders.

She is survived by her daughter, Donna Griffin; brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Richard and Sherry Lott of Benton LA; cousin, Becky Hughes of Asheboro, NC; niece, Shannon Brown Nestlerode of OK; loving extended family members; six grandchildren; and many great grandchildren.

A memorial service will be held at Tate Springs Baptist Church, Arlington TX, on Friday, May 9, 205 at 1:00 pm.
