Sandra E. “Sandi” Burge, 67 years old, of Atchison, KS, died peacefully on November 16, 2023, at Providence Medical Center.
Sandi was born on February 28, 1956, in Southern California, the daughter of Ernest W. Burge and Delia (Hundley) Burge. She attended Cerritos High in California. Growing up, she basically was her daddy’s shadow; they loved going to the beach together and living it up on the west coast. She always loved getting dressed up and doing her make-up her entire life.
Sandi was the best mom to her kids and any other kid that walked through her door; there were no strangers amongst her and her family. She could always be found watching general hospital, listening to music and baking goodies for those she loved. Above all else, her granddaughters were her world; they loved spending time together doing girl stuff! Sandi loved fiercely – if she loved you, you definitely knew it!
She was preceded in death by her parents and her loyal pup, Sparky. Sparky pretty much only liked Sandi! She will always be remembered by her children, Sabrina Burge (Alex Valliant) and Meg Burge (fiancé, Dave Nelson); four granddaughters, Aubrey, Zaryah, Kensi, Kiersten; her fiancé, Jim Birkinsha; a brother, Richard Burge; a sister, Kathy Engeman; two nieces and four nephews.
Cremation care has been entrusted to the Arensberg-Pruett Funeral Home. Her life will be celebrated and remembered with a celebration of life visitation on December 1, 2023 from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. at the Arensberg-Pruett Funeral Home.
