Cassandra Liston Obituary

Cassandra Denise Liston "Sandy Craven" GOOSE CREEK - Sandy Liston, of Goose Creek, SC, entered into eternal rest on Saturday, September 24, 2016 after nine years of battling Breast Cancer. Sandy was born on August 14, 1967 in Charleston County and was the daughter of the late John E. Craven, Jr. and Dorothy Grooms Craven. She graduated from Goose Creek High School. Her favorite thing in life was being a mom. She enjoyed watching her boys play football and baseball. Her favorite teams were the Boston Red Sox and New England Patriots. She worked as dispatcher for Carolina MedCare and various accounting positions. She was involved in several foundations: Center for Women, Relay for Life, and AFSP-Out of the Darkness Walk. Her pastimes were shopping, arts and crafts, and watching her grandson. She was very outgoing, social and loved to travel. She had a beautiful smile and a kind heart. Sandy is survived by her two sons, David Blackmon of California and Evan Blackmon of Goose Creek; her mother, Dorothy Craven; her sister, Dana M. Crocker (Jimmy) of Moncks Corner; and her brother, John E. Craven III (Kimberlee) of North Charleston; one grandson, Beckham Gallik. She was preceded in death by her father, John E. Craven, Jr.; and son, Wade Blackmon. Services will be held at 6 pm on Tuesday, Sept. 27th at Carolina Memorial, with social gathering to follow.

Sandy thank you for taking me and my husband to Wade's Tree on Folly Beach so I could put down Nick' s ashes with Wade's. If it weren't for you and Dot, I would have never found the tree. And because you carved in it, I may find it again someday. I hope you are having fun with our boys. I will see y'all one day. Much love and take care of my boy for me.
