Sandra Lee Burgess

May 5, 1961 - May 20, 2015

Sandra “Sam” Campbell Burgess passed away unexpectedly in Victorville, California, on May 20, 2015, at the age of 54. She was born to Walter and Lorraine Campbell in Upland, California, on May 5, 1961. Sandra loved growing up in Upland where she met the love of her life, Doyle, in high school. She and Doyle later married and moved to Phelan, California, while she continued her career with Mervyns. One of the words that best described Sandra was “compassionate”—caring in the deepest way for people in need, abandoned and sick animals, and her devoted friends and family. She was preceded in death by her husband, Doyle; her father, Walter; and her sister, Jane. Her life was a blessing to those who remain—her mother, Lorraine; sisters, Bonnie and Sue (Charlie); and her beloved nephew, Jason (Nancy) along with numerous other special nephews, nieces, and some very precious friends, especially Gale. To quote Dalai Lama XIV, “If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.” That would be Sandra’s legacy to all who knew and loved her. Private burial is being arranged through Sunset Hills/Victor Valley Mortuaries.
