Sandra Cozette Hoots Womack

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Sandra Cozette Hoots Womack, affectionately known as Sandy. She departed this world April 30, 2026. Born August 4, 1952, in Hendersonville, NC, Sandy's life was a testament to love of family and friends.

Sandy was the daughter of the late Tony and Ruby Hoots and was preceded in death by brothers, Robert Hoots and Michael Tony Hoots, as well as her late husband, Mitch Collins.

A graduate of East Henderson High School in 1970, Sandy embarked on a career that saw her flourish in various roles at Ruth Originals and General Electric Lighting, and later found her passion as the manager of fine jewelry at Belk in Hendersonville. In 1998, Sandy left Belk to care for Mitch, and cared for him until his passing in 1999.

In 2006 Sandy married John Womack. They built a life filled with love in Forest City. Johnny was Sandy's devoted caregiver until the very end.

A woman of the Christian faith, Sandy was known for her gentle kindness and enduring grace, qualities that endeared her to all who had the privilege to know her.
