Dr. Sandra Funk passed away September 19, 2023, in Independence, MO. She was born to parents Joe and Juanita Funk on February 25, 1946, in Coffeyville, Kansas. Sandy was one of five children: including brothers Paul, David, Lloyd, and Larry.
After a brief stint as a beautician, and art teacher, she returned to college to become a doctor.

Sandy worked most of the following years at Western Missouri Medical Center in Warrensburg, MO, until her retirement in 2019. Chris and Sandy were married in 1983 in Coffeyville, KS.
She was always on a quest to “know and do everything” she was a doctor, a seamstress, artist, crafter, gardener, decorator, an animal lover. Her one regret would have been t hat she never learned to clog dance, but it was on her list.

Sandy truly was a friend to everyone and will be missed by all.

I just saw this and I'm sad to learn of her passing. Sounds like she lived a very good life and accomplished so much. We sat next to each other in Mrs. Pendleton's 9th grade Languages class and got in trouble for talking too much! She was a beautiful young girl and woman. She'll be missed.

So many memories of Sandy over the years. She was probably the most talented woman I have ever know. Becomming a doctor was one of a list of accomplishments on her list of talents. From gardening to sewing to traveling in and out of the country, Sandy always seemed to be good at everything she put her hand to. She adored her poodles and her husband Chris. The last time I saw her was in 2011 when she came to visit us in the Florida Keys before her brother David passed away of cancer. She was such a thoughtful kind person and beautiful lady. Everyone who knew her loved her. May she Rest in Peace.
