Sandra L. Milton

Sandra Louise Milton, of Kankakee, peacefully joined her Lord on the walk of eternal life Wednesday, May 19th, 2021. Born in Chebanse to Carroll and Ruth (Rudd) Coen on September 26th, 1940, she blessed us with 80 years of life. Marrying Robert Neal Milton on July 31, 1971, Sandy spent her life working as a farm wife, doing clerical work for Riverside, and as a longtime member of Calvary Bible Church and most recently Peoples Church in Bourbonnais. Sandy was an animated soul who loved people, socializing, and time behind the wheel. She brought humor with bags full of goodies to holidays, enjoyed playing cards with friends, and making food for gatherings. She found happiness and peace in her continuous spiritual journey as a strong Christian woman. Joy could be found on her face whenever she was around her family. The mother of 6 children, Thomas (Jin-Jin) Nelson of Japan, Annette (Scott) Clyden of Kankakee, April Morales of Bradley, Holly Milton of Kankakee, and preceded in death by two sons Johnnie “Butch” (Melanie) Morris and James Morris, she was blessed with 14 grandchildren Tommy, Kristine, Jennifer (Jeramy), Joshua, Heather, Justin (Jessica), Krystal (Salvador), Travis, Christian, Cassandra, Porfiria, Brittany, Tyler (Anabel), Jolene, and 26 great grandchildren. The love Sandy had for her siblings including Joan (Tenny) Neprud, Patricia (Duane) Kafer, Russell (Sharon) Coen of Arizona, and a special niece Colleen Ochs of Florida, fueled her adventurous travels behind the wheel on the open road. In the words of Sandy “You miss them, you love them, but you don’t fall apart.” Memorials may be made to Uplifted Care of Kankakee or Peoples Church of Bourbonnais.
