Zoey Sanders, 2, of Barnes City, Iowa passed away on Tuesday, July 5, 2016, at the Mahaska Health Partnership in Oskaloosa.
Zoey Reese Sanders, daughter of Eric and Megan Shilling Sanders was born on February 7, 2014, in Oskaloosa, Iowa.
Zoey loved playing “Hide the Baby” with her sisters. Orange tractors and her Grandpa’s big Case tractor were her favorites. She loved to play in the mud and get dirty. Zoey would spend her days giving Grandma Pam a run for her money, while waiting at the window for her sisters to come home. She would greet everyone with a big smile and a twinkle in her eye. Zoey loved to play outside with her farm animals and kitties.
Zoey loved playing with her Dad and Grandpa Dan’s tape measures, and being on the jobsite. She enjoyed watching Ice Age, Frozen and Brave. At Grandpa Phil and Grandma Suzan’s she would love to play with her Woody and Jesse dolls while eating crackers and popcorn, and would sneak ice cubes. She was co-pilot on her Mom’s lawn mower. Zoey loved to watch her sister’s play ball, and was their biggest fan.
Zoey touched many lives, and would charge forward in life with no fear and a short temper. She loved playing with her sisters, and was full of life. Zoey will be remembered, missed, and loved by all who had the privilege to be near her.
