Sandra McCollum was born September 5, 1935, in Columbus, Ga., the daughter of the late Robert W. Scruggs, Sr. and Thelma Moore Scruggs. She was proceeded in death by her husband, Fred Donald McCollum. Survivors include a son, Mark S. McCollum (Anissa); a daughter, Lori A. McCollum (Chattanooga, Tenn.); a brother, Robert W. Scruggs, Jr. (Millie); a sister-in-law, Martha J. Holman (Collegedale, Tenn.) and several nieces, nephews and cousins.
Sandra was retired from the Clerk of Municipal Court’s Office at the Columbus Consolidated Government. Sandra’s first work love was as a switchboard operator for Southern Bell, followed by many devoted years as a mom and homemaker before returning to the workforce. Her last formal work was as a church administrator for Striplin Terrace United Methodist Church. She was a devoted caregiver for her mom and husband, and a member of Columbus First Seventh-day Adventist Church.
The family expresses heartfelt thanks to her medical team-- Dr. Maria Elizabeth J. Borelli; Dr. Tamorie Smith; Dr. Bruce Brennaman; and the staff at Davita Dialysis (Bradley Park Drive). They also send a special thanks to the multiple members (hospitalist, nurses, nursing aids and case manager) on the 10th Floor Med-Surg Wing at Piedmont Hospital. Collectively your care and compassion was appreciated during her most recent hospital stay.
