Sandra "Kay" Jeter

Sandra “Kay” Jeter, 76, of San Angelo, Tx passed away peacefully at home on Nov. 10, 2026.

Kay was born Feb. 23, 1950, in Dallas, Tx to Forrest and Evelyn Atteberry. She married her true love, Bob Jeter, on Jan. 5, 1978, in Ft. Worth, Tx. Their marriage created a family of 6 that day. They moved to Lubbock, Texas the following summer with their respective jobs with Allstate Insurance. Kay worked full time while raising their kids as Bob traveled for work. She and Bob made many friends along the way through their work travels. She became a catastrophe adjuster along with Bob after their kids were grown. They later moved back to the Dallas area to live in Mabank, Tx near her sister and family. They continued to travel and work for many years which included 9/11. They spent a year in New York as part of that special team. Kay took on a new role as her grandkids came along. Being Nana was her great joy and she was blessed to have 9 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren and counting. Kay was an avid cook who loved recipe books, cooking shows and online cooking apps. She was also a very talented quilter and cross-stitcher and her home always reflected these things she loved so much. Bob and Kay moved to San Angelo in 2021 to be closer to her son and family where she continued to make new friends.

Kay was a lifelong Christian and was baptized as a child in her Southern Baptist church. She lived her faith every day and brought up her children in faith as well. She was a fighter and battled multiple health issues and most recently a valiant fight against cancer and multiple strokes. She never feared the end of her earthly life and was looking forward to the day she would meet her God and Savior and be reunited with her loved ones. Her feisty attitude and hilarious comments will be missed but the pain of this world is no more and the glory of God surrounds her.

Kay was preceded in death by her parents, Forrest and Evelyn and the heartbreaking loss of her daughter, Stephanie Howle. She is survived by her husband, Robert Jeter Jr. and her children Russell Kearby and wife Michelle, Tony Jeter and wife Cathy, Kenny Jeter and “adopted” son, John Batto and Debbie. Also, her grandchildren: Kayci Dennis, Cory Jeter, Tiffany Tenery, Kayli Howell, Riley Kearby, Lexi Howell, Reese Kearby and Jaraden Kearby. Great grandchildren: Abby and Kiley Jeter; Tanner, Alice and Erik Dennis; McKenzie and Alyssa Tenery; Amina and Yousef Jeter; and Scarlette Thomas. Her sister and best friend Jeannie Woods and husband Danny; niece Nancy Merimon and husband Mike along with numerous cousins, nieces, nephews and extended family.
