Sandra Louise Brockman, age 80 of Jacksonville and formerly of Beardstown, died Monday, May 9, 2022 at Heritage Health in Jacksonville.

She was born July 28, 1941 in Beardstown, the daughter of Lora V. “Tom” and Hattie Louise Roudebush Agans. She married Richard Lee Brockman on September 25, 1970 in Rushville and he preceded her in death on November 21, 1988.

She is survived by four children Thomas (wife Teresa) Brockman of Odell, Jeffery (wife Rhonda) Brockman of Frederick, Jennifer (husband Joseph) Lovekamp of Concord, and Melissa (husband Tom) Orr of Beardstown; four grandchildren Dr. Meagan Brockman (fiancé Jeff), Zachary Brockman (wife Abby), Lakin Trone (husband Austin) and Makenna Brockman; three step grandchildren Christopher Beyers (fiancé Nikki), Zachary Orr (fiancé Jessica) and Alexis Orr (wife Tianna); one great granddaughter arriving soon; three step great grandchildren; one brother Larry (wife Debbie) Agans of Marion; one sister Janie (husband Jerry) Ward of Rushville; and three nieces and one nephew. She was preceded in death by her parents and her husband.

Sandra graduated from Rushville High School class of 1959. She was a baptized May of 1974 and confirmed member of the First Evangelical Lutheran Church of Beardstown and a member of Rebekah Lodge “Odd Fellows” in Rushville. Sandra had a colorful career that led her different directions. She worked in Washington D.C. for the FBI for two years, as a secretary in Chicago for a short span, then at Culbertson Memorial Hospital. She took time off to raise her family and later retired from Walmart in 2010 as a CSM. In her spare time, she enjoyed reading, cooking sewing, and watching her grand dogs. No greater gift can be given than a love of a mother and she will be missed dearly by those who called her mom or grandma.

Funeral services will be held at 10 AM Thursday, May 12, 2022 at First Evangelical Lutheran Church in Beardstown with Reverend John Ashcraft officiating. Burial will be in Oetgen Cemetery in rural Beardstown. The family will meet with friends from 5-7 PM Wednesday at Colwell Memorial Home in Beardstown.
