Sandra was born at home in Timpson, Texas on May 19, 1940. She was welcomed by her parents, John Cohron Bush and Dorris (Heaton) Bush. Her childhood was filled with happiness, surrounded by her three siblings, many cousins, and cherished friends. She graduated from Timpson High School in 1958.
Sandra married Keith Brownlow in 1978. She retired from Southwestern Bell Telephone Company, where she had a successful career with over 30 years of service. Sandra and Keith moved back to Timpson in the early 1990s. Since then, she had been a faithful member of First Baptist Church in Timpson, where she taught Sunday School for several years. Sandra and Keith were instrumental in establishing the public library in Timpson, where she worked tirelessly to help raise money for the building. She was especially proud of the genealogy branch of the library. Sandra wrote and published two books that honored her father and mother. “The Family Bush” and “Heaton Family History” can be found in the Timpson Library.
Sandra was always deeply committed to giving back to her community and supporting the causes she cared about.
