Sandra A. McCullough, 87, formerly of Pandora, passed away Friday, January 10, 2025, at her daughter Cheryl's home in Columbus.

Sandra was born November 28, 1937, in Leipsic to the late Glenn and Cora Lavaun (Fenstermaker) Dukes. She married Dudley DeVore December 10, 1955, and they later divorced. She then married Paul McCullough in 2003, and he preceded her in death December 5, 2021. Sandra is survived by her children, Connie (Steve) Smith of Hamler, Chris DeVore of Van Buren, Curtis (Susan Englehart) DeVore of Findlay, Cheryl (Robert) Blazek of Columbus and Cassie (Lance Layton) Slough of Loris, South Carolina; 12 grandchildren; 16 great-grandchildren; and a brother Paul Dukes.

She was preceded in death by her daughters, Crystal and Christine DeVore and a brother, Kenneth Dukes.

Sandra graduated from Pandora-Gilboa High School in 1955 and was a member of Pandora Church of Christ. She enjoyed gardening and took pride in her flowers. Sandra had a caregiver's heart, always helping those who were in need. Sandra always looked forward to her weekly visits with her grandson Ryan, and when she moved to Columbus, they had to make weekly Zoom calls. She was always seen with a smile on her face and will be missed by all those who knew her.

Interment will follow at Harman Cemetery, Gilboa, where she will be reunited with her daughters, Crystal and Christine.

The family would like to give their deepest gratitude to Sandra's caregivers, Hari Adhikari, Laura Smith, Ann Markey and Judy Prater as well as to Capital City Hospice for the wonderful care they showed her.
