Sandra Lea Bosserman was born November 8, 1949, in Peace Valley, Missouri, to Madge and Stacy Leach.  She drew her last breath on June 28, 2025, at the age of 75. 

Sandy was a wife, mother, grandmother, teacher, preacher, writer, confidant and friend.  She loved life and brought a spark of joy and creativity to wherever God led her.  Taking the words of Jesus seriously, Sandy and Maurice opened their home to young people needing a place to lay their heads, often greeting them with a burrito and a cinnamon roll.  Sandy loved to write: scavenger hunts and games for her family, Ma and Jed skits, advent devotionals, poems, sermons and the back of Church of the Brethren bulletins.  She loved the church and loved God.  She did not need others to believe like her or look like her in order to extend God’s love.  She saw God’s face in all and in all of creation. 

Sandy’s life was a life well lived and a life strongly missed by those she left behind:  her husband of over 54 years, Maurice Bosserman, her son, Chris Bosserman and son-in-law, Ty Watkins, her son, Kelly Bosserman and daughter-in-law, Melissa Bosserman along with their three children, Elle, Porter and  Hudson Bosserman, her daughter, Jennifer Bosserman and children, Luke, Chloe and Izzy Forsyth, her son in spirit, Will Cousins, her brother, Randy Leach and sister-in-law, Terry Leach as well as a host of in-laws, nieces, nephews, cousins and sisters and brothers in Christ.  May we strive to let God’s light lead our path in the same way that Sandy did.

A service to celebrate Sandy’s life will be held at the Cabool Church of the Brethren in Cabool, Missouri on Saturday, July 19, 2025 at 1:30 p.m.  Visitation time in the church fellowship hall will follow the service.  All are welcome.

She was born December 14, 1963 in Atlanta, Georgia, a daughter of Charlotte Elaine Jennings (Robinson) of West Plains and the late Donnie Ray Jennings who proudly served in the United States Army at the time of Kandace’s birth.

In addition to her father, Kandace was preceeded in death by her paternal grandparents Vernon Elvis Jennings and Eula Marie Jennings (Walker) and maternal grandparents William Joseph Robinson and Rosa Floye Robinson (Hughie).

She spent most of her youth growing up in Chanute, Kansas where she moved with her family from Atlanta at the age of seven. Kandace was a graduate of Chanute High School. She loved cheerleading, art, music, decorating, flowers, gardening, and many other activities, especially the time spent and love for her puppies. Her parents were involved in the ownership and operation of several Residential Care and Nursing Home facilities in Kansas and Missouri. Kandace enjoyed interacting with the residents and this became one of her passions during her lifetime.

After high school, Kandace married Michael Miller and he joined the United States Army. During his enlistment, they took their two small daughters, Tara and Kristin and moved to Monterrey, California where he was stationed at Fort Ord Army Base. They were then re-deployed to Sulzberger-Rosenberg Army Base, Germany, a few miles from the border with the Czech Republic, certifying the young family as true international travelers.
