Sandra “Sandy” Kay Connor was born September 18, 1962 in Waukon, the daughter of Robert William and Joan Marie (Saddler) Lloyd. She was baptized and confirmed at St. Pius at Cherry Mound Catholic Church in rural Harpers Ferry.

After graduating from Waukon High School in 1981, Sandy started her family with her then husband, Steve Knox.

July 25, 2000, Sandy married Robert Connor at Zion United Church of Christ in Waukon.

Beginning in 1994, when Sandy realized her true gift of floral design, she established and operated Sycamore Floral in Waukon. After selling Sycamore Floral in 2005, Sandy and Bob moved to the Cedar Rapids area where Sandy was continuing her work as a florist.

Sandy was a very creative person. She enjoyed designing and interior decorating, and often found materials at garage sales. She was also an artist and loved to paint. She loved her family, and her grandchildren were her life. Sandy was adored for her big heart and loving nature. Sandy’s smile and kind voice will be missed by all who knew and loved her.

Sandy is survived by her husband, Bob Connor of Walford; her children, Carrie (Brady) Waldron of Luana, Travis Knox of Iowa City, and Troy (Ashley) Knox of Waukon, and Jason (Liza) Connor and Corey Connor, both of Waukon; Brandi Moore (whom she considered a daughter) of Lansing; her grandchildren, Jayden, Bliss and Parker; her sister, Barbara (Karen Hovenga) Lloyd of Tempe, AZ; five brothers, Bill (Sandy) Lloyd, Mike (Gwen) Lloyd and Rob (Shannon) Lloyd, all of Harpers Ferry, John Lloyd of Decorah, and Randy (Wendy) Lloyd of Madison, WI; and a brother-in-law, Scott (Kim) Connor and his children, Kayla, Kelsey and Sean of Caledonia, MN.
Sandy was very excited to welcome the upcoming arrivals of two new grandchildren, Baby Waldron (Carrie and Brady) and Baby Knox (Troy and Ashley).

She was preceded in death by her parents; an infant brother, James; her grandmother, Vi Traversey; and Melvin and Eleanor Nolting.

Honorary casketbearers are Travis and Troy Knox, Jason and Corey Connor, Brady Waldron, and Scott and Sean Connor.
