Sandra “Sandi” Neer, loved a good bargain and telling others “where to go”, and not for a bargain. Sandra was released to Heaven by her family on Saturday, June 23, 2018. She accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior and was called to eternal life shortly after.
Born December 2, 1944 in Indianapolis, IN., Sandra graduated from Southport High School. In her career, she held various positions and worked for Bridgestone-Firestone where she worked until her retirement.
Sandra was a wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She loved her family and worked hard to take care of her loved ones. She had a kind and generous spirit. She also didn’t mind telling people how to live their lives. Sandra could fix your life if you listened carefully and she would do it for free. She loved making Christmas ornaments but would not give them to her daughters. Her daughters are still afraid to take them. She was proud of setting her in-laws straight and lovingly yelled at them often to make sure they understood. She loved to send her family to eight grocery stores, to get three items. She equally loved saving thirteen cents but spending six dollars in gas to find 
that bargain. She was argumentative, but kind, frugal but generous, overbearing, but concerned, controlling but caring. She was the best mother, wife, sister-in law, grandmother and great grandmother anyone could hope to have. Her family will miss her quick wit and coupons. Sandra was cherished by so many, she will truly be missed and will never understand the countless lives she touched with her love and mothering. Please note that Sandra instructed her family that she did not want a funeral, but a memorial of her life. She will be upset that her family did not use a coupon.
Left to honor Sandra and remember her love is Sandra’s spouse; Richard Pierce; 3 daughters; Angela Neer, Kimberly Neer (Robert Ward) and De’Andre (Jerry) Owsley, eight grandchildren, several great-grandchildren and numerous relatives. She was preceded in death by her parents, Ina and David Berger.
Sandra’s life will be honored at Indiana Funeral Care, 8151 Allisonville Rd, Indianapolis on Thursday, July 5, 2018. There will be social time from 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. The memorial will take place at 1:00 p.m.

My heartfelt condolences to my cousins Angel, Kimmie, and Dee Dee in the passing of your mom and my Aunt Sandi. I loved her firsty spirit and even in the gruffness of her tone you could hear love. She was one of a kind! I pray God’s strength for you all now and in the days to come. God bless you and I love you!
Doris Cain says
I remember growing up in Haughville and your mom always treated me like a daughter and would get me if did anything wrong and then go tell on me so I got trouble twice. I will always treasure the memories Love you and your family.
Angel Patrick says
My sincere Condolences to you Angel & Kimmie. I’ve know you guys since we were young kids. You guys use to come over and hang out at our house on Tremont Street. Now that I think about it, All these years and I never personally met your Mom. Reading the obituary gave me a small glimpse of who she really was and what she meant to others. Thay put a smile on my face. Your Mom reminded me alot of my Mother. Sharp Minded but Blunt to the point. Filled with so much Love. My heart grieves for you All because I too once had to sit in this same seat 8yrs ago. The pain is still deep & hurts!! I Love You Guys and if there’s anything I can do for you Both, please dont hesitate to contact Me. Cassandra, John, Otha and Myself are lifting you guys before the Throne of Grace continuously.🙏🙏

Robert Ward says
Sandi no one could’ve prepare us for this loss; it came like a swift wind. However, we take comfort in knowing that you are no longer in pain and now resting in the arms of our Lord. Continue to watch over the family until we meet again. RIH 🙏-Robert Ward
Robin & Charles Thigpen says
What precious memories to cherish. I’m very sorry for your loss. My prayer is that God grants you peace and comforts you in this time.
God bless you all.
Randy Pierce says
In the moment in life you try to capsulize one’s life in a few sentences, because seems to be all the time you have, but Sandy’s indelible spirit is there for ever, God’s grace and mercy will carry us back to her. I’m not just sure how my brother will move on, like the song in Sparkle,”One Wing”,but he should know,God, his children and family will always be with him, love”Butch”
Sandra J Davis says
“It’s So Hard To Say Good Bye To Yesterday!! This song really says it all for me at this time. I am going to miss my dear (other) sister Sandy because of the special bond that we shared in this life together. I am so thankful that God allowed us to be together for as long as He did. Sandy was not only a sister to me, but my true friend. To my dear brother Dickie and my beautiful nieces Angel, Kim and Dee Dee, I am praying for God to strengthen you through family and friends that here for you. Just know that you are loved always…Joanne
