Sandra Jean Allen, fondly known as "Nana," peacefully passed away at her home in Midland, Texas, on April 11, 2025. At 85 years old, she left the world surrounded by her beloved family, leaving a legacy of faith, love, and resilience.

Born on November 20, 1939, in Carlsbad, New Mexico, Sandy was the daughter of Frank Kelt and Bessie Eunice Hubbard. She married Calvin Allen on March 8, 1959, and together they nurtured a family filled with faith and hard work.

Sandy is survived by her mother, Bess Jones, her children Stellyce, Michael (Ginger), Devin (Meranda), Bryan, and their families, as well as her brother, Keith Kelt, and his children. She was preceded in death by her father, husband Calvin Allen, and son-in-law Wes Tune.

A beacon of strength and love, Sandy was known for her candid nature and kind heart. Her green thumb, crafting skills, and love for gathering brought joy to those around her, especially her grandchildren. She shared a special bond with her brave friends from the "Young and the Breastless" group, navigating cancer together with resilience and laughter.

A celebration of Sandy's life will be held on Thursday, April 17, 2025, at Nalley-Pickle & Welch Chapel in Midland, Texas, followed by a graveside service at Resthaven Memorial Park. The family expresses gratitude to the hospice team who cared for Sandy.

As she often said, "God is good, all the time." Sandy's unwavering faith comforted her loved ones, and they find solace in knowing she is at peace.
