Obituary

Sandra (“Sandy”) Jean Wilson, 71, of Dallas, Texas, passed away on August 29, 2022. She was born and raised in Staten Island, NY to Woodrow and Gladine Crocker. Upon graduating from Tottenville H.S., she completed schooling at Grace Downs and began working for CBS in Manhattan. Soon after, she married and moved to Dallas, Texas to explore new opportunities and be closer to her sister’s family.

After settling in as a Texan, Sandy started her career in commercial real estate at Hudson & Hudson while raising her sons. Her commitment to nurturing and supporting her family was unwavering. Sandy’s dependable presence could be felt in her community through her active involvement in the PTA, city sports leagues, local scouting groups and her church.

Sandy continued to develop her interest in real estate through an extended tenure working for Prentiss Properties. She eventually fulfilled a life goal of becoming a realtor and joined Keller Williams where she was able to incorporate into her career her love for learning and assisting others. Sandy was reputed for going above and beyond for her clients.

Over the years, volunteerism remained as important to Sandy as her professional endeavors. Sandy joined and held leadership roles in the service organization Epsilon Sigma Alpha (ESA) International, whose efforts support childhood illness research, literacy and other causes.

Sandy was loving, cheerful, curious, patriotic, loyal and generous. She relished spending time with family celebrating holidays and milestones, cooking for loved ones, traveling, listening to and playing music, reading, crafting and gardening. Being in her home state of New York and at the beach gave Sandy great joy. An adventurous spirit, Sandy found pleasure in new outings and experiences. She was beloved by many, including her Staten Island schoolmates, friends, real estate colleagues, ESA and Messiah Lutheran Church.

A dedicated partner, mother, sister, grandmother and aunt, Sandy was predeceased by her parents, sister, Gail, and brother, Richard. She is survived by partner, Clif, children, Peter (Susannah), Erik, granddaughter, Kennedy, cousins, nieces and nephews.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, November 5 at 11:00 am at Messiah Lutheran Church, 1801 Plano Pkwy., Plano, TX. The service will be live-streamed and available afterward on the church’s YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbv7COiGkhY

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
