(permission granted)
Sandra “Sandy” Yearout, 79, of Dewey, joined her Lord and Savior in
heaven Tuesday evening in Bartlesville.
Sandy, as she was known, was born the daughter of Clarence and Lota May
(Williams) Austin on November 24, 1939, in Dermott, Arkansas. The family
moved to Bartlesville and Sandy attended College High, going on to
further her education at the Bartlesville Beauty College. She was a
great mom to her two daughters Sherri and Melanie, and she was active in
their many interests throughout the years. She also operated The Looking
Glass salon and then Sandy’s for many years. She enjoyed her work and
the many friendships she developed over the years with her customers.
John Yearout and Sandy were united in marriage on August 30, 1980, and
they enjoyed honeymooning in Hawaii. During her younger years Sandy was
very active in the local AA community. Later in life she was very
involved, serving in the various ministries of the church. Sandy was
active in her church and community, and she had a strong faith and love
for God.
Sandy enjoyed life thoroughly. She was over 50 when she decided to rodeo
in the Senior Pros or Old Timers as it was known in barrel racing. Her
favorite horse for racing was Duke, while Patch was her choice for
riding around the pasture at home. Sandy cherished her family – she
enjoyed keeping and decorating her home, having the grandkids over and
making Christmas Candy Pizzas with them. John and Sandy enjoyed nearly
40 years of loving marriage and she will be dearly missed.
Sandy is survived by her husband John of the home; four children, Sherri
Wheeler and Craig of Yukon, Melanie Lay and Jim Ware of Bartlesville,
