Sandy Bilyew

May 3, 1954 — August 17, 2018

Sandy Bilyew, 64, of Robinson, IL, died at 4:15 a.m. on Friday, August 17, 2018 at Heritage Health in Robinson. She was born May 3, 1954 in Robinson, the daughter of Leon Bilyew & Barbara (Billings) Bilyew, both of whom preceded her in death. She was also preceded in death by her sister, Dana Rich. She is survived by three sisters & brothers-in-law, Rena & Mike Gower (Robinson, IL), Karen Kerner (Newton, IL), and Becky & Jerry Bradbury (Robinson, IL); by two brothers & sisters-in-law, Howard & Marianne Bilyew (Oblong, IL), and Gareld & Myra Bilyew (Oblong, IL); several nieces and nephews; and her special friend, David Simpson. Sandy grew up in the Oblong area and was a 1972 graduate of Oblong High School. She would further her education at Southern Illinois University-Carbondale, earning a bachelor’s degree in education. This would prove useful back home, where she taught and tutored countless inmates at the Robinson Correctional Center. At home, she could often be found with her Kindle in hand, and if she wasn’t reading, she was listening to music. Sandy will be remembered as a thoughtful, giving person who lived life her way. A time of visitation will be held from 9:00-11:00 a.m. on Saturday, August 25th at the Goodwine Funeral Home in Robinson. A memorial service will immediately follow and be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday at the funeral home. Her family will officiate the service, with an opportunity for the public to share memories as well. Family and friends are encouraged to dress casually. Burial will be in the Robinson New Cemetery. Memorials may be made to the Crawford County Spay & Neuter Foundation, with envelopes available at the funeral home.
