Sally Gandy - Madison Parish, Louisiana 

From Tallulah Madison Journal, August 2, 1979

Accident claims life of Tallulah woman

Funeral services for Miss Sally Gandy, 26, of Tallulah will be held at 3 p.m. today in Tallulah 
Presbyterian Church with the Revs. D. L. O'Neal of Choudrant and David M. Daniel of Port Gibson, Miss. 
officiating. Burial will be in Silver Cross Cemetery under direction of Crothers Funeral Home.

Miss Gandy died in a three-car crash on Highway 61 north of Port Gibson about 6:30 a.m. Wednesday 
while on her way to work at the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station.

Claiborne County Sheriff Dan McCay said that Miss Gandy was northbound when a car driven by John O. 
Kempie of New Albany, Ind. apparently swerved across the center line and collided with her head-on. 
Another northbound vehicle, driven by Joe Doss of Harriston, Miss. struck the Gandy vehicle. Sheriff's 
authorities said Kempie apparently went to sleep at the wheel, and that an investigation by the 
Mississippi Highway Patrol and their office is continuing.

Miss Gandy, of 300 Virginia St. in Tallulah, was temporarily living and working in Port Gibson. She 
was a graduate of Tallulah High School and Hinds Junior College in Raymond, Miss., and was a member 
of the Presbyterian Church.

She is survived by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Gandy, Jr.; a sister, Rhetta Gandy; her maternal 
grandmother, Mrs. Henry C. Sevier Sr.; and her paternal grandmother, Mrs. R. W. Gandy Sr., all 
of Tallulah.

Pallbearers will be Conrad Sevier, Brad Seale, Todd Ivey, Clay Sevier, Robert Wood, Jackie 
Xxxx (and others.)
