Sandra Jean Holcomb, age 65 of Eureka, passed away suddenly at St. Joseph Hospital on September 2, 2023 just after midnight. Sandra’s last day was spent doing the things she loved with her older sister. Later that evening she was taken to the hospital where the doctors found a massive brain bleed, which was Irreversible; with her sons at her side, Sandra passed away peacefully.

Sandra was born on May 24, 1958 to Corky and Billie Holcomb in the state of New Mexico. She graduated high-school in 1976. She went on to do a multitude of jobs, including working at the mill. Sandy was a Jill of all trades.

Fast forward to meeting Gary Croan, the father of her two sons, Nathan and Ethan. Sandy also cared for Gary’ eldest son, Cameron. Through Nathan’s cancer and raising three wild boys, Sandy saved both Nathan and Ethan’s lives by catching mistakes made by our health care system. She was our hero.

From painting houses to managing our properties, Sandy was also a caregiver to many people throughout her life. She felt best when helping those in need. Although small in size, she had the biggest heart, most warming smile and a great passion for whom she loved.

Sandy spent her life going to church with her family, particularly Faith Center Forsquare Church and Eureka The Pentecostal church where she could hear her niece sing. She often went to the beach at King Salmon to look for shells or to the thrift shops to search for treasures.

Sandy is survived by her son Nathan and his wife, son Ethan Croan, five grandchildren, sister Colleen and her husband Bill Maynard, sisters Kate Mcmurray, and Terry Holcomb, brother Steve and his wife Dana Holcomb and numerous nieces and nephews.

Sandra Jean will forever be in out hearts and deeply missed by every life she touched. She is with all she loved and lost in her life, smiling down and watching over us. No sorrow or no pain . Until we see you again, May you rest in peace.
