Sanford Rudolph Cole Obituary
We are sad to announce that, on April 6, 2026 we had to say goodbye to Sanford Rudolph Cole of Elberton, Georgia, born in Hartwell, Georgia. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Sanford Rudolph Cole to show support.
Though Sanford may no longer walk beside us, his memory will forever be enshrined in the fabric of the lives of those Sanford touched, a beacon of light guiding us through the darkness. In his absence, his spirit lives on — a gentle whisper in the breeze, a ray of sunlight on a cloudy day, a reminder that love knows no boundaries.
He was predeceased by: his parents, Adolphus "Jack" Cole and Sara Starrett Cole; and his siblings, Evelyn Hilley and Francis Jean Moore (Roger). He is survived by: his wife Martha Lunsford Cole; his children, Sanford "Sandy" Cole of Elberton and Terry; his son-in-law Jeff Fairchild of Tucker; and his brother Edward Cole (Marion) of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin..
For those who wish, flowers are accepted, or donations may be made to the Dewy Rose Baptist Church ramp ministry fund in Elberton or Hart County Animal Rescue in Hartwell.
