Port Wentworth
We’re heartbroken to share that Sandra Kay Lowder, our fun-loving, big-hearted, one-of-a-kind wife, mom, grandma, great-grandma, and friend to many, passed away on June 25, 2025, at the age of 72. She is now reunited with her husband, Ronald T. Lowder.
Sandra didn’t just raise her own children—Charlene Collins-Demaines (Waldo), Sandi Rivers (Quintin Jr.), Cheryl Kordes (Scott), Barbara Lowder, and Steven Lowder (who predeceased her)—she mothered anyone who needed love, encouragement, or a warm meal. Her heart was open to all, and her home was a place where everyone was treated like family. She truly did not know a stranger.
She leaves behind a large and loving family, including her grandchildren: Tracey Collins, Dustin Collins (Shalea), Harlee Lowder, Michael Lowder, Chance Bradlau, Katy Rodriquez (Arturo), Joe Kordes (Alexis Render), Christopher Kordes (Amberly) Quintin Rivers III, and Katelyn Rivers—and her great-grandchildren: Connor, Emma, Addie, Lucas, Cooper, Gracie, Jack, Harper, and Sanaiyah.
Sandra was known for her patience, her dedication, and her passion—for her family, her home, and the people around her. She loved flowers and kept her garden blooming like a living work of art. She collected Barbies, porcelain dolls, glass elephants, angels, and quirky knick-knacks that filled her home with charm and character.
She was a night owl who loved staying up late with a book or an Asian drama, always with a bowl of popcorn in hand. Music of all kinds filled her life, and she was never far from a beat she could dance or sing along to. Wherever she went, she brought light, laughter, and a sense of belonging. She was the life of the party, but also the quiet comforter when someone needed a listening ear.
Sandra taught us how to love unconditionally, how to show up for others, and how to embrace life with both strength and joy. Her legacy lives on in the many lives she touched.
A celebration of her life will be announced at a later date. Until then, plant a flower in her honor, play her favorite music, stay up too late with a snack and a show, and welcome someone in—just like she always did.
