Sandra married Tony Young in 1982 and became step mom to Tony’s daughter Tonya. They have lived in Amarillo since 1984. Sandra was in child daycare since 1970 in either Registered or Licensed Family Homes, which she dearly loved and was devoted. She was the President of the Greater Amarillo Area Daycare Association from 2005 – 2016. She loved helping the ladies in the association meet and exceed their licensing requirements and making their daycares as good as they could be. She was known for her generous spirit and finding humor in everything she did. Her father, William, her mother, Addie, and her brother, Bill-Bruce Ramage, preceded Sandra in death. She was a member of Pinnacle Community Church which she loved and enjoyed serving. Other members were her new friends and extended family.
Survivors include her husband, Tony Young; sons, Michael Beard of Amarillo, TX, and David Beard of Post, TX; step-daughter, Tonya Pruitt of Houston, TX; beloved grandchildren, Blair Pruitt, Blake Pruitt and Bree Pruitt all of Houston, TX, and Braden Beard of Amarillo, TX; sisters, Pamela Gormley of Seattle, WA, and Catherine Ramage of Portland, OR; and many close friends and the families she worked with through the years who loved and respected her and will miss her dearly.
Sandra was tough, straight forward, honest, giving, unselfish and generous, all in one great gal. She cared for a lot of human beings for many years, and now she is forever rewarded being cared for by the creator and his son.

Sending much love and comfort to Tony and family. Sandra had a heart as big as the world. 🙏💕
Sandra was such an amazing lady. She had more love than any one person could imagine. She loved her little one just as Jesus would want us to love. She will be truly missed but touched many lives young and old! Prayers to the family!
We most definitely lost a great one! Sandra was one of the strongest, most generous, and kind hearted woman I was blessed to have in my life. “She was my bonus mom” I could call her anytime and she would be there , wether it was for support, guidance, or convincing my stubborn mother to go to urgent care after hitting her head.
She will be dearly missed, but never forgotten. We love you Sandra, fly high and rest in peace.💜
Prayers for this sweet ladies family ❤️
