Sandra Schlottmann Lange, 77, of Brenham, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her family and pastor on April 21, 2026.

She was born May 19, 1948, in Brenham to Lonnie and Ruby Wernecke Schlottmann. She was baptized and confirmed at St. John Lutheran Church of Prairie Hill. Sandra attended local schools and graduated from Brenham High School, earned an Associate of Arts degree from Blinn College, and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Education from Sam Houston State University. On April 29, 1972, she was united in marriage to David W. Lange at St. John Lutheran Church, and together they were blessed with two daughters, Melissa and Alison.

Sandra was a faithful and active member of Zion Lutheran Church, where she served in the Naomi Circle, church council, stewardship committee, Sunday School, Vacation Bible School, and Altar Guild. She especially enjoyed participating in May Dell Mondays.

A dedicated educator, Sandra shared her passion for the Bible, reading, and literature with generations of students. She positively impacted countless lives as a second-grade teacher with Brenham ISD and Faith Lutheran School, as well as through her devoted work as a Sunday School and VBS Teacher. An avid reader and member of a ladies' book club, she enjoyed discussing books and sharing her love of reading with friends and family alike. She was also a Jeopardy! aficionado. She deeply cherished traveling and spending time with her husband, her family and friends, and especially her sisters, who were her life-long best friends and unconditional supporters. She will be remembered as a patient, kind, devout Christian, and as a loving wife, mother and grandmother.

She was preceded in death by her parents, father-in-law and mother-in-law, Louis and Ella Lange, brother-in-law, Willie Rosenbaum, and sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law, Irene and Stubbs Brown, Dorothy and Lonnie Siebel, and Natalie and William Bell.
