She overcame many obstacles of surgeries, trips to Shriners Hospital in Lexington, KY and elsewhere. Born February 4, 1993, she was the daughter of Rev. Joe Akers and Dolores Hale Akers.

Sandra was preceded in death by her infant son, Nicholas Leslie Ray Xavier Knuckles; brother, Nicholas Akers; uncle, Danny Akers; grandfathers, Vassel Akers, Sr., Robert Brownfield and Maynard Sisk and grandparents, Jack and Beulah Hale. Survivors include her biological parents, Carlisle Collins and Janice Ratliff; grandmothers, Marie Sisk and Barbara Miller; special companion, Terry Skeens and friend Rose; brothers, Shawn Massey, Mark Massey and wife Michelle, Jeremy Roberts and wife Elisabeth; sister, Ashley Dunford and husband Jonathan as well as a host of extended family and friends.
