Sandra Radcliffe

Sandra Radcliffe, 78, passed away on May 28th, 2025, in Greenwood, IN. Sandra was born on December 24th,1946 in Indianapolis, IN, to Viets and Avanella Harriman.

Sandra broke barriers early on, becoming the first female bailiff in the state of Indiana-a milestone that set the tone for her lifelong commitment to serving others. Later in life, she turned her boundless energy and passion for care toward nursing, working in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Lutheran Hospital (Fort Wayne) and Community South (Greenwood) helping the tiniest and most vulnerable patients. Her dedication to service knew no bounds, taking her across the country as a traveling nurse where she worked until March of 2020. She worked tirelessly in communities in every state of the nation except Hawaii, touching countless lives along the way. Sandra's career as a traveling nurse continued until she was 73, demonstrating her extraordinary work ethic and selflessness. Sandra's warmth, laughter, and love of adventure will be dearly missed by all who knew her. Her family and friends will always remember her as a trailblazer, a healer, and a source of endless inspiration.

Sandra is survived by her daughters, Christina (Michael) Dyson, Charlotte (Terryll) Holt; grandsons, Nathaniel Radcliffe, Todd Harris, Broc Dyson, Christopher Parker, Bryce Dyson, Shane Holt, and Jaxson Holt; granddaughters, Amanda Harris, Kirsten Branham, Jaquelyn Baker, Grace Watson, Hayleigh Holt, Mckenzie Radcliffe-Daniels, Dakota Holt; and nine great grandchildren.

Sandra is preceded in death by her husband, Charles Radcliffe, daughter Karen Watson, and great grandson Lucas Branham.
