Sandra (Sandy) Mae Sparks died unexpectedly in the early hour of November 15, 2023, at the University of Alberta Hospital, Edmonton AB. Sandy was born on May 11, 1963 to William and Olive Sparks. She was a kind, generous and gentle soul with a sense of humor that will be greatly missed by her family and friends. She was predeceased by her father William (Bill) Sparks and sister Donna Sparks and many relatives. She leaves behind her mother Olive Sparks, siblings Gerald (Julie) Sparks, Richard (Barb) Sparks, Connie Sparks, James Sparks (Cheryl Bloomer), Nieces and Nephews Ryan, Michelle, Blake, Kristen/Kris, Michael, Todd, Brandon/Brandie, Layna, Steffen and Lyndsay. Many Great Nieces, Nephews, Cousins and Aunts.
The family would like to thank all her Home-Care Nurses as well as the staff at the University of Alberta who cared for her in her final hours. A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday December 3, 2023 at 1:00 at the Edmonton Crematorium and Funeral Home – 6403 Roper Road NW, Edmonton, AB T6B 3G6. The family also requests that in lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to a charity of your choice such as the Diabetes or Heart and Stroke Foundation. Better still take a friend or relative who maybe lives alone or spends too much time alone for lunch and spend some time with them, that, they will surely appreciate.
My sincere condolences on your loss Connie and family. Sandy will be missed.
My condolences to all family.
Sandy was a warm heart as was her sister Donna. Beautiful people.
May you rest in peace Sandy. ❤

I will always remember you Sandy! Your kind and Giving heart, Even the time where you literally gave me the shirt off your back! You had this jacket on and you asked me if I liked it, and when I said yes, you took it off, made me put it on and take it home! Thank you Sandy for being apart of my life and helping me laugh!
