Sandra Mossman

Sandra Taylor Queen Mossman, 59, of West Columbia, SC passed away Friday, March 5th, 2021.  She was born September 8th, 1961 in Gaston County, North Carolina, to Paul G. Taylor, Sr. and Lynette Homesley Taylor.

Sandra enjoyed being with the people she loved, especially her family.  Her greatest joy was her son, Matthew, whom she loved more than life itself.  As if that was not enough, along came Caleb Grayson Queen and that brought life, and joy into her heart that she didn’t know she had!  She hopes they never forget they were her sunshines.

She was preceded in death by her paternal grandparents, Charles Lester and Velma Taylor; and maternal grandparents, James Thaddeus and Themla Homesley all of Cherryville, NC.

Survivors include, along with her loving parents, her loving and faithful husband of 15 years, Mike E. Mossman of West Columbia, SC; son, Matthew T. Queen (Leslie Queen); grandson, Caleb G. Queen all of Summerville, SC; siblings, Melinda Phillips (Randy) of Lexington, SC, Paula T. Homesley of Columbia, SC, Bo Taylor (Elizabeth) of Durham, NC, Eugenia T. Beam, Edwina T.
