Sandra Jo Griffin

Sandra Jo Huber Griffin, 85, of Hunt, Texas passed away peacefully on February 2, 2022, in Kerrville, Texas.  Sandra “Sandy” lived an incredible life filled with love, laughter and wonderful adventures with an amazing family and a multitude of friends. 

Sandy was born in Brownwood, Texas to George Walter “Ike” Huber and Ima B. Huber on November 21, 1936.  The family relocated to Kerrville, Texas in 1939 where Sandy completed all of her schooling. She graduated as a proud member of the Tivy High School Class of 1955. At Tivy, Sandy was the head drummer in the Antler Band and was the recipient of the John Phillip Sousa Award. She attended college at Trinity University in San Antonio, and the University of Texas in Austin before marrying her husband Gerald D. “Gerry” Griffin in 1958. She later completed her Bachelor of Arts degree in Fine Arts at the University of Houston-Clear Lake in 1985. 

When Sandy married Gerry, his Air Force and NASA careers took them to many home-bases across the U.S. They returned to her beloved Texas Hill Country in 1992. Throughout her life she was a talented artist and sculptor creating beautiful and fun pieces. Sandy also loved golf. A competitive player, she and her partners won numerous tournaments and she actively served on committees at each country club over the years.

Over their nearly 64 years of marriage, Sandy and Gerry traveled the world for work and pleasure. Everywhere Sandy went she added to her circle of friends and never failed to brighten the room with her smile, contagious laughter, and positive attitude.

She was preceded in death by her parents George “Ike” Huber and Ima B. Huber.
