Born on November 27, 1962, in Kansas City, MO, Sandy was the eldest child of Robert and Patricia Ann (Jeter) Parrott. A lifelong resident of Cass County, MO, Sandy spent her childhood in Peculiar and graduated from Raymore-Peculiar High School in 1981. She went on to earn a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education from Northwest Missouri State University in Maryville, MO. For 25 years, Sandy dedicated herself to shaping young minds as a beloved teacher in the Pleasant Hill R-III School District, where she taught 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades.
Sandy's passion for education extended beyond the classroom. She also worked as a waitress at the Harvest House Restaurant in Harrisonville, where her warmth and kindness endeared her to patrons and coworkers alike. A devoted member of the Harrisonville Church of the Nazarene, Sandy's faith was a guiding force in her life. She was known for her compassionate spirit, fantastic cooking, love for children, and commitment to her family and community.
Sandy is preceded in death by her beloved parents, Robert and Patricia Parrott. She is lovingly remembered by her four brothers: Harold (Tineka) Parrott of Urich, MO; Rob Parrott of Peculiar, MO; Charlie (Dianna) Parrott of Garden City, MO; and K.R. (Missy) Parrott of Pleasant Hill, MO. She is also survived by her many cherished nieces, nephews, and countless friends who were touched by her kindness and bright spirit. Her legacy of love, laughter, and learning will continue to inspire those she leaves behind.
