• Notes

  GLINN, SANDRA LEE SCALES, passed away peacefully in Miami, FL, the community she called home for more than fifty years, on January 13th, 2019. Sandra was born in Charleston, South Carolina but raised in Winter Haven, Florida where she attended Winter Haven High School and was not only the Orange Blossom Queen but also a gifted performer at Cypress Gardens. A beautiful, brilliant, talented woman, she received both her BAE and Master's degree in Education from the University of Florida, where she was a deeply involved social activist, President of the Florida Student Union Board and a member of Chi Omega. She moved to South Florida and quickly established a career as an educator and counselor who spent many years working with students at Miami-Dade Community College and eventually rose to the level of Assistant Dean in her department. Sandra was an empathetic, caring woman who flourished in academia and loved helping young people find their way. She was also very involved in the community, especially at Temple Judea, where she was a member for over forty years and was also very active in the sisterhood, including leading their soup kitchen program in west Coconut Grove for many years. She was also an unapologetic lover of animals who never, ever turned away a stray in need. But most important to Sandra was always family, and she was, first and foremost, a kind, generous and loving mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend. She is survived by her children and grandchildren: including MacAdam and Denise Glinn and their daughters Kennedy and Harper; Dara and Joe Lahoud and their daughter Leah and son Benjamin; and Daniel Glinn. She is also survived by her stepmother Tyna Carter, her sisters JoAnnScales Hitt and Susan Scales Helms and her brother William Lee Carter III, as well as many beloved nephews, nieces, cousins, and friends. She is additionally survived by her two, much-loved nieces, Melissa Carter and Kimberley Carter Martinez, who she welcomed into her home and raised as her own daughters after their parents passed away. Funeral services will be held at 2 PM on Tuesday, January 15th at Mt. Sinai Memorial Park Cemetery,
