Sandra Kaye Dilley, age 82, entered her heavenly home on Saturday, December 20, 2025. Sandra was a cherished presence to all who knew her, remembered for her quiet strength, kind heart, and the love she so freely shared with family and friends. Her life touched many, and her memory will be held close by those who were blessed to know her. Arrangements are entrusted to the care of Mobley-Groesbeck Funeral Service of Sand Springs.

A funeral service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Monday, December 29, at the Jim Groesbeck Memorial Chapel at Mobley-Groesbeck Funeral Service.

Sandra was born on February 4, 1943, and devoted much of her life to education, creativity, faith, and family. She retired after more than 30 years of service as an elementary schoolteacher with Tulsa Public Schools, where she shared her love of art and inspired countless students through her creativity and encouragement.

A loyal and faithful member of Christ United Methodist Church in Tulsa, Sandra was a strong woman of faith whose life reflected kindness, service, and devotion. She earned her college degree in art, as it was her true passion. She loved painting in all forms, and her work was proudly displayed at Boulder Coffee Shop, a testament to her talent and artistic spirit.

Sandra also found great joy in the simple pleasures of home and family. She loved cooking and baking, especially her famous Christmas cookies, and delighted in decorating for the holidays. An avid vegetable and flower gardener, she took pride in nurturing beauty from the soil. Travel was another joy of her life, particularly trips to Disney World. One of her most treasured adventures was a recent trip to New York City and Boston, Massachusetts, shared with her daughters—a journey filled with many fond memories.

Sandra is survived by her daughters, Amy Dilley and Michaela Dilley, who will forever cherish her love, faith, creativity, and unwavering strength.
