Wilma “Sandy” Brown Peveler, 73 of Port Orange, Fla. passed away on Friday May 21,2021 at her home. She was born in Russellville, to the late George and Lucille Brown on June 17, 1947.
A graduate of Russellville High School, one of her passions was twirling. She was a majorette and field commander for the marching band while in school. In the late 1970s Sandy taught twirling to local girls and had a competitive travel team known as Sandy’s Spinners. She coached the high school majorettes for several years and enjoyed watching and supporting the Panther’s football team.
In 1984 the family moved to Port Orange, Fla., where she was a restaurant manager for the next 15 years. After that she worked until she retired last March for Dance Depot – a perfect fit as she enjoyed teaching dance, twirling, gymnastics and aerobics so many years ago.
Sandy is survived by her husband of nearly 54 years Tom; her children: son Sean Peveler (Nichole) and daughters Jane Gray (Tom) and Alison Jones (Tommy); her grandchildren, Colby Peveler, Thomas Gray, Emily Jones, Briley Peveler, Britney Lucas and Brenden Baiardi; her sister, Jane Vick (Barry) of Russellville; her sister-in-law and husband Imogene and Wayne Grayson of Huntsville, Ky.; her aunt, Wilma Martin of Louisville; and a niece, three nephews, three great nieces, two great-nephews and a host of cousins, all of whom loved her and will miss her dearly.
A Celebration of Life will be held Sunday, June 13, with visitation from 2-5 p.m. with a service beginning at 5 at Pinello Funeral Home, 1036 Derbyshire Rd, Daytona Beach, FL 32117. Family and friends are invited to attend. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Russellville High School Alumni Association, P.O.
