Sandra Virgina Brooks, nee Quinn, 77, a resident of Ladson, South Carolina and a native of Sanford, Maine left us early on Christmas morning, December 25th, 2021, after a long and courageous battle with Alzheimer's Disease. She passed peacefully with her loving husband, their two daughters and their dog, Buster by her side.
She was born on April 19th, 1944 in Sanford, Maine, the daughter of Arthur W. Quinn and Irene V. Quinn,

School Class of 1963. She later attended Burdette College in Boston where she earned a
secretarial degree. Later, Sandra would go on to receive a Culinary Degree as a Diet Technician
from Southern Maine Technical School in early 2000.
Sandra was an avid gardener, loved family, dancing, social occasions, travel, cooking,
needlework, quilting and she loved her Maine lobster! Sandra spent many summers at Mousam
Lake in Acton, Maine during her youth. She was also known to enjoy a Martini or two at the
Front Porch in Ogunquit, Maine with her younger brother Tim on occasional summers.
Sandra is survived by her husband of 49 years, Gardner Corey Brooks of Ladson, SC and her
two daughters: Erika Lindsay Brooks of Shapleigh, ME and Kathryn Corey Tyrrell and her
