A life well lived, a love that will never fade.

It is with deep sorrow and loving remembrance that we announce the passing of Sandra Ann Pertuit, who departed this life on October 20, 2026, at the age of 70.

Born in Lorain, Ohio, and raised in Gulfport, Mississippi, Sandra lived a life centered on faith, family, and love. She was a devoted wife, loving mother, proud grandmother, cherished great-grandmother, and a faithful servant of the Lord.

Sandra was a woman with a strong personality, a big heart, and a beautiful soul. She was loving, outspoken, funny, and full of life. Her presence could light up any room, and her love for others was evident in everything she did.

Above all else, Sandra treasured her family. Her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren brought her immeasurable joy and held a special place in her heart. She loved family gatherings, making memories, and being surrounded by the ones she loved most. Her love extended beyond her immediate family to her nieces, nephews, and all who knew her. She will be deeply missed but never forgotten.

Sandra shared 40 years of marriage with her beloved husband, Reed Michael Pertuit. Together, they built a life filled with love, laughter, and countless memories.

Her faith in Jesus Christ was the foundation of her life. She loved the Lord, and her trust in Him gave her strength, peace, and hope. As we grieve her loss, we take comfort in knowing that she is now in the presence of her Savior, where there is no more pain, only eternal peace.

“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.”— Matthew 5:4
