  1935-2006
  Funeral services for Sandra Jean Doty, 71, Garnett, were Friday, September 1, 2006, at
  Farris-Feuerborn Memorial Chapel with Chaplain Matt Benorden, of Hospice Care of
  Kansas, officiating.  Interment was in Garnett Cemetery.  Mrs. Doty died Tuesday,
  August 29, at Anderson County Hospital.
  Sandra Jean Doty was born March 3, 1935, at Ottawa, the daughter of Kenneth Maurice
  Crippen and Ethel May (Hunt) Crippen.
  She graduated from Garnett High School in 1953 and attended Kansas University.
  Sandy married Robert Lee Powers on August 29, 1954, at Garnett.  They had four
  children, Vicki Lee, Mary Dee, Robert Elliott, and a son who died in infancy.  This
  marriage ended in divorce.  Sandy remained friends with Bob until his death on March
  25, 1991.
  Sandy and Richard Douglas Doty were married April 5, 1980, at Garnett.
  She was the co-owner of Powers Motors, Inc. from 1966 until 1974 and was the third
  generation to own and operate the Hunt Furniture Company, which had been in her
  family since 1902.  She was a former member of the Garnett Jaycee Janes, the Garnett
  Country Club, Friends of the Library, and she was instrumental in the organization of the
  Anderson County Hospital Auxiliary Pink Ladies.
  She and her husband, Dick, retired in 1984 and spent many years traveling and dividing
  their time between Yuma, AZ, Glen Echo, CO, and Garnett.
  Although Sandy traveled extensively in her lifetime, living in Hawaii, Colorado, Arizona,
  and Kansas, she was always a Kansas girl at heart.  Her home was always open to friends
  and family.  She was a wonderful listener, an avid reader, and enjoyed good conservation
  and debate on a wide range of subjects.
  Mrs. Doty was preceded in death by her infant son; and her parents, Kenneth and Ethel
  Crippen.
  Sandy is survived by her husband, Dick, of the home; her daughters, Vicki Mills and

  Gedrose; her step-grandchildren, Travis Doty and wife Wendy, Candice Doty, Tanner
  Doty, Carson Doty, Margo Doty, Darcy Doty, Robynn Doty, and Meghan Lawrence and

  Gedrose, and Travis Doty.
