Lela Parnell and was blessed to have two loving fathers, Frank Jones Jr & Otto Jones Jr. all of whom proceeded her in death. Sandra relocated with her mom to Chicago, IL at a very young age.

Sandra graduated from Parker High School and attended Daley Junior College. She found love at an early age when she met Ernest Moore in middle school their love continued to blossom. The young couple sealed their love by joining in holy matrimony in 1973. To this union they had 3 beautiful children Sakita N. Moore, “The Twins” Tanysha R & Tremayne R. Moore.

Sandra gave her life to Christ at an early age and was a faithful member of New Joy Devine Church until her health failed & remained a member until she transitioned. Sandra loved family both immediate and extended. You could always count on her to show up and help with whatever you needed even if it was to just show up with her delicious highly requested deviled eggs. There wasn’t a blues song written that she didn’t enjoy. If you wanted to see her, get up and shake her grove thang all you had to do was play “Hole in the Wall” or “Last Two Dollars” and she would be on that dance floor. If you really knew Sandra D. you knew and understood that she didn’t play any games and EVERYONE should know her favorite saying about a Mc Donald straw.
