Sandra Lee Benson Wylie

Sandra Lee Benson Wylie, 79, died, Thursday, November 12, 2026. A graveside service will be held at 1:00 pm, Monday, November 16, 2026 at Pleasant Grove Presbyterian Church Cemetery.

Sandra was born on September 1, 1947, in Chester, South Carolina, to Edna and Sammy Benson.

She wore many titles throughout her life: the fiery redhead who would fuss at you for leaning against her counters at Big D’s, the woman who could haggle you down on just about any antique, and the woman who, if she had something to say, never had any trouble saying it. But no titles in her life were ever as cherished as Wife, Momma, and Maw Maw.

Sandra first saw David in 1966, and before they had ever exchanged a word, she already knew he was the one. Together, they built a beautiful life, filled with so much laughter, friendship, and love that it made forever seem easy. They built a home and a family that became a place everyone wanted to be, and one that no one ever wanted to be too far away from.

Sandra loved the beach, and some of her happiest moments could be found in the moments spent at Springmaid: wandering through flea markets in search of a good find, getting every cent worth of a seafood buffet, and taking walks along the pier.

Sandra leaves behind her devoted husband of 59 years, James David Wylie; her daughter, Tonya Ferguson (Doug); her son, James David II (Rhonda); granddaughter, Ashley Wallace (Daniel); great grandchild Cameron Wallace and many beloved bonus grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her daughter, Tiffany Mayben, and her parents, Edna and Sammy Benson.

Her memory lives on in the family she loved, the home she built, the laughter she shared, the wit that kept everyone on their toes, and the countless memories that will forever make her presence.
