Sandra Renee Stroud, age 56 of Elm City, passed away on Wednesday, September 3, 2021 at her home in Elm City, NC following several illnesses and at the last a COVID infection.

Sandy was born on June 14, 1965, in Shreveport, Louisiana to Samuel Lee Morris and Barbara Ann Britt Morris. She attended school in Edgecombe County. She held various positions, one of which was a clerical position at BB&T Bank in Wilson. She worked at other jobs usually involving serving people in some way.
