Sandra Campbell Scott was born on September 11, 1954 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She was born to Alfredia Scott and Freddie Jones, with a loving father, Frank James Campbell, who raised her from birth. She was preceded in death by her dad, Freddie Jones, siblings Mary Jane (died at birth), Arjean Campbell, Alfred Holiman, Gloria Jones and Brian Jones.
Sandra grew up in Wyatt, Missouri, graduating from Charleston High School. She returned to Milwaukee in 1972. Sandra obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Communications and a Master of Arts in Global Business. Retiring from Miller Brewing Company after 36 years in 2010, Sandra founded the Scott Institute of Learning. She developed “The Be Present Program,” a tutoring and mentoring program with Milwaukee Public Schools. Sandra was most proud of her work leading the implementation of the Milwaukee Tutorial Program. She served as the lead in designing and implementing the Milwaukee Chapter of Blacks In Data Processing (along with Melinda Green, Albert Thomas and Fred Reed). Sandra had a supporting role with New Testament Church’s Education Committee. Sandra volunteered with many community organizations, such as Hansberry Sands Theatre Company, Milwaukee Times Black Excellence Committee, Community Brain Storming and McGovern Park Block Watch. Sandra was President of Hansberry Sands Theatre Company for more than ten years.
Sandra accepted the love of Christ at an early age while in Wyatt, Missouri. She was baptized at New Testament Church in Milwaukee, WI. She leaves to cherish her memory: beloved son, Jeromie; sisters, Loraine Campbell, Gloria Campbell, Floredia Saffold (Tommy), Beverly Kennedy (David) and Mary Jones; brothers, Frank Campbell, Freddie Campbell, Tommy Jones, Jeffrey Jones, Michael Jones; and a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
Sandra cherished her family and all that family means. She treasured good friends and often quoted one of her longtime compadres, “Friendships are like bank accounts, you put nothing in, you most certainly can get nothing out.” Sandra spent her entire adult life focusing on educating young people, helping them to understand the importance of education. She willingly gave her time, money and talent to improving young lives through her volunteerism in the church, businesses and community.
