Sandra Ingram Neely Ramsey, age 81, of Des Arc, Arkansas, passed away at UAMS in Little Rock, Arkansas on Sunday, November 23, 2025. Born October 5, 1944, to Raymond and Mildred (Bunch) Ingram of Des Arc, Sandra was a beacon of love, compassion, and resilience throughout her life.

Sandra was a proud graduate of Des Arc High School, Class of 1962, and was Board Certified as a Registered Nurse in 1965 at Baptist Nursing in Little Rock, Arkansas. She dedicated her life to serving others in the medical field, first as an ER Nurse at Stuttgart Regional and later as a Surgical Nurse at White County Regional Hospital until her well-deserved retirement. Her dedication to her profession was driven by her deep-rooted empathy and her desire to ease the pain of others.

Sandra's accomplishments extended far beyond her professional endeavors. She was a constant source of love and support for her family and friends, consistently putting others before herself. She had a love for working, shopping, dining out, reading, and most notably, talking with family and friends on the phone. Her voice was a source of comfort for many, and her laughter was a melody that will be deeply missed.

She was a member of First Baptist Church in Des Arc, throughout her life.

Sandra was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Charles Ramsey, and her brother Bobbie Ray Ingram. She is survived by her daughters, Dana DeAnne Neeley (Shane Holland) of Fayetteville and Keisha Barnum of Little Rock. She also leaves behind sisters Carolyn Kennedy, Jan York, and Faye Hughes, all of Des Arc, along with her dedicated caregivers, Tonya Richards and Angela Sims.

Sandra's life was a living example of a quote by Maya Angelou, "My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style." Sandra not only survived, but thrived, and she did so with an abundance of compassion, a sense of humor that could lighten any moment, and an undeniable style that was uniquely her own.

In this time of grief, we remember Sandra, not with sorrow, but with gratitude, for she lived a life full of purpose, love, and laughter. Her legacy will continue to shine through her family, friends, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.
