Sandra Kay
Meigs
May 19, 1943 — Oct 20, 2022
Our amazing mother Sandra Kay (Christensen) Meigs went home to the Lord on October 20,
2022 after a courageous 2 year battle with cancer.
Born May 19, 1943 in Hyannis, Nebraska Sandra moved with her parents John & Maxine
Christensen to Kennewick, Washington in 1944. Sandra attended school in Richland and
Kennewick graduating from Kennewick High in 1961.
Sandra married Jon Koker in 1961. These years she was active in bowling, raising two
daughters and working at Dean's Steakhouse.
She married Jim Meigs in 1976. They moved to Wyoming in 1980 where they raised two sons,
enjoyed the outdoors and fishing. Sandra worked for the State of Wyoming in Job Corp helping
youth obtain work.
The family returned to the Tri-Cities in 1991 where Sandra joined the Benton County Sheriff's
Office until her retirement in 2001.
Sandra & Jim enjoyed 40 years of marriage doing all the things they loved; traveling, RVing,
fishing, playing cards, garage saling and making a beautiful home where they were always
surrounded by the love of their family.
After Jim's death in 2015 Sandra joined Westside Church in Richland serving as Deacon until
her illness. There she joined a small group of women where she was truly blessed by
friendships that became a great source of happiness and support.
Sandra will be remembered and held in the hearts of her children Debra (Randy) Mettille, Jeri
Lynn (Mike) Paull, Christen Meigs and Jim Meigs; brother Jerry (Kay) Christensen, sisters Jan
Foster and Brenda Young; grandchildren Deena, Tony, Jon and Paul; great grandchildren
Jacob, Carlie and Rhys; cousin Linda (Christensen) Hurlburt, nieces, nephews, cousins and
friends.
She sang, whistled, lived and loved joyfully. For God she lived and to God's embrace she now
goes.
Donations may be made in her honor to Westside Church, Richland, WA or Highland Park
Church, Casper, WY.
We love you mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin and friend. We
will be together, forever, once again.
