Celebrating the Life of Sandra Ann Fourte McCullum Let not your heart be trouble: ye believe in God believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so I would have told you. I go to prepare a Place for you and if I go to prepare a place for I will come again and receive you unto myself that where I am there ye may be also. John 14:1-3
On the 14th day of December 1953 in Chicago, Illinois Sandra Ann Fourte was born to the union of Rochester and Annie Mae Fourte. She was the 8th child from a family of 12. Her father, two sisters, Ernestine and Veronica Jean and one brother, Clarence Lee preceded her in death. Sandra received her formal education by attending John D. Shoop School, Morgan Park High School and Kennedy King College. On April 21, 1970 she was united in Holy Matrimony to Charles D. McCullum, Sr. and to this union 3 children were born Tawanda, Charles, Jr. and Rodrick.
Sandra attended church all of her youth and used to sing in the choir. One Sunday in 2007 after attending many years, she reaffirmed her membership with St. Mark Church of God in Christ. On Saturday, September 2, 2017 Sandra rededicated her life to the Lord. She was found to be a loyal friend, and a fun loving person. You could rest assured that if you confided in Sandra that she could keep a secret. She was also known for her spectacular chili where people would come from miles around just to enjoy her cooking. She was an avid reader and enjoyed a good novel.
Sandra was employed at Chicago Osteopathic Hospital in the admitting department for many years and after it closed she began to work at Metro South, Ingalls and Christ Hospital. On Thursday, September 21, 2017 at 5:56 PM at the University of Illinois an angel of the Lord silenced the lips of one of his own. Sandra will always be remembered for her beautiful smile and warm heart.
