Dates
On February 11th, 2025 our precious Mom and Mimi was lovingly welcomed into the arms of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Born in San Angelo, TX, on January 30th, 1936, Sandra Freeze Hulse was a West Texas force whose unashamed devotion to the gospel and innate artistic gifts combined to touch the lives of countless people. Throughout her abundant life, Sandra’s artistic abilities produced hundreds of beautiful paintings and hand stitched tapestries which reflected her love of faith, family, and friends. The walls of art collectors around the United States and beyond are home to many of her exquisite creations.
Sandra would say that her life really began on October 24th, 1970 when a dear friend invited her to a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous (A.A.). Her willingness to surrender herself to the Twelve Steps opened a door that would not only transform her life, but the lives of her family, friends, and the many people she sponsored in A.A. By honestly working the Twelve Steps she realized a great gift; God was doing for her what she could not do for herself. Thus, by claiming Jesus as her Higher Power, Sandra’s life became an outward expression of an inner dependence on Him.
If Sandra couldn’t be found in San Angelo, one might run into her at any airport around the world or at her beloved second home in Taos, New Mexico. She and her late husband, Max Hulse, enjoyed an adventurous life filled with great friends, wonderful travels, and exhilarating tales.
Sandra was preceded in death by her father, Carl Alexander “Jake” Freeze and her mother Nelda Nobles Freeze. She is survived by her three children, Bart Gunter (Sharon), Liz Steving, Sloan Gunter (Debra), and sister Ann Carruth (David). Her much- loved grandchildren are Sloan Baker, Kate Bonfield, Alex Bonfield, Barton Gunter, Jr., Annie Gunter, Austin Gunter, Taulbee Gunter, Cameron Gunter, Max Gunter, Adam Williams, and Stacy Collins; nephew Jordan Carruth and niece Lane Hawkins (Robbie). Last, but not least, she leaves behind twelve beautiful great-grandchildren.
Pallbearers will be Toby Baker, Barton Gunter, Jr., Conor Clary, Austin Gunter, Max Gunter, Jake Baker, and Justin Smith.
Her celebration of life will be Saturday, February 22nd at 10AM at The Anglican Church of the Good Shephard, 3355 W Beauregard Ave, San Angelo, TX, 76904. A reception will follow at the church parish hall.
We have been deeply touched by the outpouring of love, prayers, and support from so many people who loved Sandra. Today, and every day she is truly alive!
