Obituary

Sandra Lynn Humphrey passed away peacefully in Las Vegas, Nevada, where she had made her home for the past three years.

Sandra was born on June 14, 1958, in England to John and June Coaxum. As the daughter of a United States Air Force family, she experienced a childhood rooted in service, family, and adventure before eventually settling in Northern California. She graduated from Highlands High School in North Highlands, California, and later attended the University of San Francisco.

Sandra built an accomplished and distinguished professional career. She worked for the Federal Bureau of Investigation and later for Standard Oil before finding her true passion in marketing. She ultimately became Vice President of Marketing for The Sharper Image, where she played an instrumental role in helping grow the company into an internationally recognized global brand. Her creativity, strategic vision, and leadership left a lasting mark on the business and those fortunate enough to work alongside her.

The greatest joy of Sandra's life, however, was her husband, Titus Humphrey of San Antonio, Texas. Their love story spanned forty-plus years of marriage and was one built on unwavering devotion, laughter, friendship, and adventure. Together they traveled the world, creating countless memories while building a beautiful life together. They spent most of their married life in Oakland, California, and also lived in Pacific Grove, Saratoga, and San Jose. Titus preceded Sandra in death four years ago, but those who knew them found comfort in believing that they are now reunited once again.

Sandra possessed a rare combination of intelligence, elegance, warmth, and generosity. She had a remarkable ability to make people feel welcome and valued. She loved her dogs, traveling, gardening, discovering new cultures, enjoying fine food and wine, and creating unforgettable experiences with those she loved.

She was preceded in death by her parents, John and June Coaxum; and her brothers, Carl John Coaxum (older) and John Coaxum, Jr. (younger).

She is survived by her siblings: Paul (Robbin) Coaxum, Janice (Pasha) Coaxum, and Charles (Kiamethia) Coaxum. She also leaves behind many loving nieces and nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews, whose lives were enriched by her kindness, wisdom, and love.

Sandra's legacy is one of excellence, resilience, and enduring love. She lived a life filled with purpose, achieved success through hard work and determination, though she will be deeply missed, her spirit lives on in the countless lives she touched and in the enduring memories she leaves behind. The family will hold a private ceremony in California.
