She was influential in beginning multiple of special education programs for the Stephens County School District before moving to Irving, Texas in 1986, and working as an elementary school counselor for the Irving ISD.
Sandra wrote a children’s book called “sunkissed kitty learns to say no”, dealing with kids saying no to drugs.
Upon her retirement in 1998, she and Conger returned to Oklahoma and the home that her parents, Everett and Velma Kincaid, built in 1956 on Lake Texoma at Soldier Creek, where she loved to fish and spent many an hour in her boathouse chasing the lake record.
She was grandmother to Taylor and Adam Brown of Fort Worth, Texas, Bert and Steven Brown of Dillon, Ryan, Mike and Lisa Brown of Denver, Colo., and Tulsa, Okla., and Jake Brown of Joplin, Mo.
She enjoyed western history, and wrote a novel, “Stardust in the wind”, after doing extensive research in the Southern Oklahoma and Texas regions.
She became interested in art and oil painting during the last five years, and was a member of the Madill Art Club.
She also enjoyed animals, and befriended many a stray cat in the Soldier Creek area, and raised a coyote pup named CiCi who also became a character in a children’s book.
In the fall her favorite sport was football, and she could be found rooting the Sooners on every year, as well as the Dallas Cowboys. And when her grandsons played she did her best to not miss a single game.
Graveside services were held at the Woodberry-Forest Cemetery in Madill, Okla., Dec. 29. Condolences can be left at www.wattsfuneralhome.com.
