Sandra Lee M. Dayton

Sandra Lee Marie Dayton, 68 of Bradley, passed away Wednesday, September 20, 2023, surrounded by family. She was born July 28, 1955, in Kankakee, the daughter of August and Mary Rose (Raymond) Best. She was retired from Shapiro. Sandra is survived by her daughters, Cori (fiancé Michael Schuch) Dayton and Kacey Dayton; her partner Kelly Ford, his children, Stacey and Jonathan Ford; siblings, August Mervin Best and Joyce Best; cousin and best friend Debra Wherle, and special friend Mary Ford. She is preceded in death by her parents and sister, Bonnie Longtin. Sandy, the bronze goddess, welcomed friends to share her pool, garden, and heart. Cori and Kacey will hold their mom forever in their hearts every time they feel love or hit the dance floor. Sandy's best friends, Debbie and Ruffles, will continue her legacy as they share a home and make new memories. Sandy's partner Kelly was steadfast and supportive until the end. We are eternally grateful to Stacey and Mary, who were the backbone of Sandy's care. Services will be announced at a later date.
