Sandra Ann (Walker) Benton
Sandra Ann (Walker) Benton, 80, of Apison, TN, beloved mother, sister, Mimi, and “Auntie Ann” passed away Saturday, July 12, 2025.
She was born on September 13, 1944, in Key West, Florida to the late Roy and Helen (Baker) Walker.
Sandra (Annie Doll, as she was known to her family) moved to Homestead, Florida as a child and helped with the family business of growing avocados and limes, as well as dozens of exotic fruit trees that were in the yard. She later worked as a medical assistant and moved with her young family to Chattanooga, where she was employed by Dr. C.Y. Liu at the Chattanooga Women’s Surgery Center and worked there for over 30 years. She was the smiling face that greeted everyone who came into the office, and it always amazed her sons when it seemed like she knew everyone in town.
She is survived by her two sons, Brian (Cheri) Benton and Stephen Benton, grandsons William Benton and Michael Benton, sisters Carol Weeks and Sharon (Ed) Landers, nieces and nephews Sunshine (Pedro) Weeks Torres, Adam (Katie) Weeks, Lisa (Richard) Dubose, and Jonathan (Heather) Landers.
A Graveside Service will be held at 10 a.m. on Sunday, July 27, 2025, at Collegedale Memorial Park in Collegedale, TN with the Pastor Dwight Herod officiating.
