Sandra Joyce Stack McLain, age 77, of Prosperity died Tuesday, June 25, 2024 at her home surrounded by her loving family.

Born September 4, 1946 in Sumter, SC, she was the daughter of the late Wade H. and Edith Fulmer Stack. She was married for 37 years to G.O. "Pete" McLain, Jr.

Sandra worked for 16 years at A&P Grocery store and later for Shakespeare Composite Company for an additional 16 years before retiring. She was always active in her church, teaching Sunday School at Hunt Memorial Baptist Church and Lewis Memorial United Methodist Church as well as teaching Vacation Bible School at Wightman United Methodist Church. Her faith was paramount to her and she remained dedicated to bible study and prayer groups throughout her life.

She had a servant's heart, caring for others, especially her family and friends. Her greatest joy was her family- children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She treasured time with each of them. Sandra will always be remembered as a loving mother, a caring wife, and a Christian woman who stood strong in her faith.

In addition to her husband Pete, Sandra is survived by sons, Arthur Guy (Audra) of Prosperity and Todd Guy (Harriet) of Kinards; daughters, Missy Hipp (Mark) of Prosperity and April Moore (Charles) of Kinards; a step-son Tommy McLain (Jeanne) of Conway, SC; a step-daughter Jodie Smith (Dwayne) of Conway, SC; 10 grandchildren; 4 great grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews.
