Sandra Scott McGuire
September 02, 1938 - September 21, 2014
Savannah- Sandra Scott McGuire passed away Sunday, September 21, 2014 at age 76 surrounded by her loving family. She was preceded in death by her husband, Wm. M. (Mickey) McGuire and Infant daughter of Savannah, GA, father & mother, Roy and Nena Scott and brother, Jerry Scott of Reidsville, GA, and son-in-law, Paul "Stump" Moore.
She graduated from Reidsville High School in 1956. She was very active in sports while attending high school. She had worked for the School Bus Drivers Association and traveled over most the state of Georgia before moving to Atlanta and working for the State of Georgia. After moving to Savannah she worked for Meddin Packing Co. got married and was a stay at home Mom. She was very active in her children's lives especially the sports they were involved in also a Girl Scout leader when her daughters were in lower school. Even after going to work at Saint Vincent's Academy she continued to be active in the school and sports. Then she went to work at Riverstreet Sweets for a short time before moving to Savannah Candy Kitchen where she retired in 2003 after working on River Street for the past 18 years.
After retiring she had health problems and was unable to do a lot of the things she loved like fishing and working in the yard. She always tried to make your day a little brighter even though her day might not be. Pulmonary Rehab at Memorial Health was a blessing and helped to continue her life a little longer. There she made new friends. She will be greatly missed by family and friends.

I wish to express my condolences to Sandra's family upon her recent death. I have been calling Sandra for almost two years on a monthly basis as her Humana Cares Nurse. We talked about her health and set goals to improve her quality of life, but I will remember most talking about our families and sharing snipits of our lives. I was always glad to see Sandra's name pop up on my roster as someone I would be calling that day. I will certainly miss her sweet voice saying "I know who this is honey" before I could introduce myself. I know she felt appreciated by all of you. Sue Ellen Moyer RN HCM
