Obituary

Born in Junction City, KS on February 3, 1956, to Roy and Lillie (Kirkhoff) Warner. Sandy went to be with the Lord on October 1, 2015. She passed away at UT Southwestern Medical Hospital in Dallas Texas as a result of complications from sarcoidosis. Sandy passed away peacefully and was comforted by her husband and children. Services will be held at St. Andrews Lutheran Church in Wichita, Kansas at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, October 10, 2015. Chris and Sandy met when he was taking his nephews and some of their friends bowling. One of the friends was Sandy’s brother, Les, and his sisters asked if they could come along. Chris and Sandy saw each other every day for the next few months and were wed in August of 1973. During their 42 years of marriage they had three children. They lived in Junction City and Manhattan, Kansas for a few years, and later moved to Arkansas City, Kansas where they lived for 20 years and raised their children. Sandy led Chris to become a member of the Lutheran Church while in Arkansas City and they moved to Oklahoma in 2003 when Chris became principal at Messiah Lutheran School. In 2007, Chris accepted a call to Trinity Lutheran School in Wahiawa, Hawaii, where they lived for 2 years.  During their time in Hawaii, Sandy spent much time walking the beaches and fell in love with sea turtles. They returned to Kansas in 2009 to be closer to their grandchildren and to Sandy’s mother, and have lived in Wichita, Kansas ever since. Sandy was a graduate of the Kansas City School of Medical and Dental Assistants, and served as a medical assistant in Arkansas City and Winfield, Kansas, as well as in Oklahoma City and Hawaii. In Wichita, she worked as a phlebotomist at the Cancer Center of Kansas, where she would encourage the patients in their battles with cancer and often share her faith in God with them. She was preceded in death by her father Roy Warner and her sister, Marsha Adkins. She is survived by her husband Chris Anderson, her mother Lillie Warner of Junction City, Kansas; sister Sharon Houston of Junction City, Kansas; sister Cathy Hoyle of Topeka, Kansas; brother Les Warner of Overland Park, Kansas; daughter Diamond Gulick of Wichita, Kansas; daughter Aurora Djurdjulov of Ladera Ranch, California; son Brock Anderson of Carrollton, Texas; and 8 grandchildren, Kaden Anderson, Jeffery Gulick, Gabriel Anderson, Joshua Anderson, Nathaniel Anderson, Brandt Djurdjulov, Braden Djurdjulov, and Derek Djurdjulov. Arrangements are under the direction of ARIA Cremation Service and Funeral Home 19310 Preston Road Dallas, Texas 75252 214-306-6700

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
