Sandra Beane Richardson

Sandra Kay Beane Richardson, age 71, passed away peacefully at home on Friday, September 26, 2025, in Carthage, with her loving family by her side.

Born April 11, 1954, in Randolph County, to the late Grady and Alma Wilson Beane, she was fiercely independent, and there was nothing she couldn’t accomplish, from reupholstering furniture, repairing motors, or building a new gazebo.

Sandy retired from the CAT Manufacturing Plant after 20+ years as a Materials Planner. She is remembered for loving her family immensely. She enjoyed spending time outdoors, was an avid fisherman, enjoyed deer hunting, and enjoyed horseback riding – her favorite horse was “Poco”. But most of all, Sandy loved spending time with her grandsons, whether that was taking them fishing, tinkering in the garage shop, or watching them play sports.

Sandy attended Solid Rock Community Church and, in her final days, she looked forward to weekly home visits with Pastor Dr. Brad Marona for fellowship and prayer.

She is preceded in death by her parents; sister, Anne Julian; brother, Ronnie Beane; brothers-in-law: William Julian, David Richardson, and Danny Richardson; and mother-in-law, Letha Gilbo.

Sandy is survived by her husband, Tommy Joe Richardson, of 22 years; her son, Tommy Joe Richardson (Crystal) II; and her grandsons, Koby and Ryan Richardson, of Cameron.

A funeral service will be held on Monday, September 29, 2025, at Solid Rock Community Church in Sanford at 2 p.m.. The family will receive visitors at 1 p.m. prior to the service. Pastor Brad Marona will officiate the service. Burial will follow the service at the Cameron Presbyterian Church Cemetery in Cameron, NC.
