Sandra Dillinger

Sandra Kay Dillinger "Adams" passed gracefully with her family by her side Tuesday, Feb. 6, 2018, at Saint Francis Medical Center in Cape Girardeau.

She was born Jan. 5, 1952, in Poplar Bluff, Missouri.

Surrounded by her children, siblings and grandchildren, Sandra somehow conjured up the words "I love you" to us. She is loved and will be missed by all she met. She went to meet her heavenly Father with a smile on her face and didn't have to carry her oxygen tank along for the first time in years. She has loved us her entire life, and we will continue to honor her memory every day.

Sandra was the devoted mother of Kristina Schumer, Nathan Dillinger, Nicholas Dillinger, John Brock Hartline, John Skylar Hartline and the late Robert Spencer Dillinger. Her siblings are Peggy Sue Wyatt, Russell Adams Junior, Gary Lee Adams, Larry Wayne Adams and Linda Faye Burch.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Bryant Russell Adams and Ruby Edith Adams.

Friends may call from 9:30 to 11 a.m. Friday at Rainey-Mathis Funeral Home in Dexter, Missouri.

Funeral service will be at 11 a.m. Friday at the funeral home. Interment will follow at the Chalk Bluff Cemetery.

Rainey-Mathis Funeral Home in Dexter in charge of all arrangements.
