SANDRA S. GOODMAN
Sandra Shivers Goodman was born to Raymond and Eva Shivers on Dec. 22, 1964 in Sumter. She departed her earthly life on Wednesday, July 11, 2018 at Palmetto Health Tuomey Hospital.
Sandra was educated in the public school system of Sumter County, graduating from Sumter High School in 1983. She was employed at Bosch for 10 years before leaving to begin her career at the South Carolina Department of Corrections in Lee County. Lt. Goodman held a deep love and commitment to the lives she touched.
