Florabeth Gordy Sandridge, 87, a lifelong resident of Centerville, LA, died 
peacefully, Sunday, January 30, 2011, at the Franklin Foundation Hospital, at 
9:38 PM, surrounded by family and friends.

Florabeth was a graduate of Franklin High School in 1940 and was the owner of 
the Beauty Box in Centerville, LA, where she enjoyed working and socializing 
with her clients and friends for many years, but her primary role in life was 
wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother.

Florabeth was preceded in death by her parents, Clarence and Florene Gordy.

She leaves behind to cherish her memories, first and foremost: her beloved, 
loyal husband of 59 years, Hollis Sandridge of Centerville; along with their 
four daughters, Joan Hill of Pineville, Donna Sandridge of New Iberia, Gaynell 
Spurgeon of Alexandria, and Lisa Lischka of Los Gatos, CA; as well as two 
sisters, Charlotte Hammonds of Lake Charles and RoseMarie Baugher of Houston, 
TX. Florabeth also leaves behind four grandchildren, Wendy Hill, Heather Dujay, 
Cody Walden, Kerrin Lanahan; and five great grandchildren whom she adored 
dearly.

Our precious Florabeth will be deeply missed by all family members and the many 
friends who were ever so fortunate enough to have known her.

Her family has requested that in lieu of flowers, memorial donations be made to 
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, or to a favorite charity of choice.

The family would like to thank the staff at Franklin Foundation Hospital, her 
physician, Dr. Roland Degeyter, and the staff of the Franklin Health Care Center 
for the love and special care provided to our Florabeth.

The family has requested that private services be held, and in doing so, realize 
that so many wish to share in their sorrow and joy. They simply ask for your 
continued prayers, the occasional visits, and shared memories. Afterall, it is 
the little things that are born in the heart that really matter.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Ibert's Mortuary, Inc.
