May 13, 1940 — January 2, 2019
Sandra Kay (Dority) Benton, 78, Topeka, passed away peacefully at home on Wednesday, January 2, 2019 with her loved ones by her side.
She was born May 13, 1940, in Wichita, Kansas. Sandra was employed by various restaurants in Topeka, including Ira Price Café, Conley's Café and Tevis Restaurant retiring after over 30 years of service.
Sandra married John Forrest Benton on February 7, 1987 in Topeka. He survives.

Sandra will be remembered as a hardworking mother who loved and treasured her family deeply. She loved crafting, from crocheting to Christmas decorations, to coin purses and playing card holders. She was always creating something. She was also an incredible seamstress, all of which she did by hand and loved to play cards and work puzzles. Her favorite pastime was walking.
