She was the most beautiful wife, mother, aunt, and friend and will be greatly missed.

In addition to her parents, Sandra was preceded in death by her siblings, Larry Mayfield, Terry Mayfield, Janice Feltman, and Darlene Mayfield.

Those left to cherish her memory include her husband of 46 years, Louis Owen Howard; daughters, Sabrina and Jessica Howard, all of Owensboro; sisters, Glenda Scott and Kathy Burns; numerous nieces, nephews, and friends.
