Sandra Kay Staggs

Sandra Kay Staggs, known affectionately as "Sandy" to her loved ones, passed away peacefully at home on April 20, 2026.
Sandy was born in Yakima, WA on December 8, 1949, to loving parents, Donald and Pauline Collings.
In July of 1970, Sandy married her husband, Billy Staggs. Together, they raised their son, Don, in their home in Union Gap, Washington.
Her radiant smile, generous spirit, and warm heart touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. Sandy's love for her family was paramount and shone brightest in her role as a loving wife, mother, and adoring grandma.
She found joy in simple pleasures like shopping, baking delicious treats, camping, and spending time with her four legged furry daughter, Bailey.
But her biggest joy in life was spending time with her granddaughter, Mia. She loved taking Mia on shopping trips, going on camping trips and attending as many games of volleyball, basketball and softball that she possibly could.
Sandy enjoyed attending church and growing her in her faith weekly with her family and living her faith through her actions. The verse, "Love is patient, love is kind..." (1 Corinthians 13:4-7) perfectly encapsulates Sandy's approach to life.

She is survived by her loving husband, Billy, her son Don, daughter-in-law Colette, granddaughter Mia, sister Deanna, brother-in-law Dave, two nephews and a niece.

Sandy was preceded in death by her parents, Donald and Pauline Collings and brother Martin Collings.

Sandy truly blessed us all with her kind and loving spirit, our hearts are heavy with sadness, but heaven is truly an even better place today. We will see you again!

We invite you to share your cherished memories of Sandy and to upload photos to her memorial page, celebrating her remarkable life and the love she shared with all of us.
