SANDRA ANN SANDERSON (LANE)

Condolences & Memories (37 entries)

• I had been living in Calgary for a number of years and ran into a former co-worker at UGH the other day since I'm now back in Winnipeg. She informed me of Sandy's passing. When I started with the company we shared a cubicle booth with 2 others and I recall how welcome she made me feel. Her kind spirit was evident from day 1. I'd go on to work the next 13 years with the company and always enjoyed visiting with Sandy, first as a co-worker in head office and then during my trips back there after re - locating. It saddens me to know that such a kind and beautiful spirit has left us. Rest in peace, Sandy. Warm memories of you will live on forever. - Posted by: Duane (friend) on: Mar 21, 2014

• Glenna, I was just revisiting all the comments today as a reminder of your Mom on this difficult day. Not many days go by that I don't think of Sandy and that wonderful smile and warm heart. I sure hope you get through today with some laughs mixed in with the tears. Cynthia - Posted by: Cynthia (Friend and Co-worker) on: Oct 17, 2013

• Glenna...Your mom was my favorite customer at Muffins were I am the baker. She was the kindest, sweetest lady and I loved chatting with her when she came for her morning coffee and scone. She so proud of you and the two girls. She kept me up to date with pics of them. On her last day at Viterra we met for coffee in the food court. I will always remember your mom with so much affection She was such a gracious lady and I am so glad when we parted after coffee I got to hug her sooo big. - Posted by: Jo-Ann Kennett () on: Nov 24, 2012

• To: The Family of Sandra Sanderson - Sandy was always so kind, generous, and gracious towards me, during the times that we would interact at work. Whenever I would be around her desk, dropping off reports, there were always pictures of her family proudly on display. Whenever I catch myself thinking of my time there, Sandy always comes to mind, with pleasant memories. Take care of yourselves, bye for now. - Gordon Kooper - Posted by: Gordon Kooper (Former co-worker - at UGG/AU) on: Nov 01, 2012

• Hi Glenna, sorry to hear about your mom passing. I knew Sandra through our UGG/AU days, she was a very quiet and friendly person who always spoke about you and often times showed us picture of you. The last time i saw your mom, she was bragging about her grandchildren, she even showed a picture or two. Think about the fond memories you and your daughters had with her. I am out of the country but one of my good friends was able to alert me of your mom's passing. Accept my condolences and may she rest in peace. - Posted by: Verene Babb (friend) on: Oct 28, 2012

• We grew up as Sandy Lane #1 and Sandy Lane #2. We had a lot of laughs over that. It won't be the same without Sandy #1. She loved all her family so very much and treasured her daughter and grand-daughters the most. Rest In Peace Sandy. You were taken way too soon. Glenna, you and the girls are in my thoughts and prayers. - Posted by: Sandy Sherman (Cousin) on: Oct 23, 2012

• Glenna and family. I am so sorry to hear about our cousin Sandy's sudden passing. She was a generous, kind soul with a wonderful laugh. I always loved the fact she moved into our Aunt Jessie's House on Marjorie Street where we all grew up and spent many happy years there - right across from Marjorie Park. My Sister and I, plus our cousins Paul and Gordie spent entire summers there. Although I haven't seen Sandy in many years, I was always kept in the loop through the family. Cherise the memories - they will help when you're feeling blue. Kindest Regards - Heather. - Posted by: Heather Boyle, Toronto (Cousin) on: Oct 23, 2012

• Dear Glenna and family - I am sorry to hear of Sandy's passing. She was a wonderful, caring person and even though I have not spoken to her for years we did work together at UGG - to this day I get wonderful comments on the Banana Loaf Recipe she shared with me. She had a wonderful sense of humour and we shared some real good times with her, Irene and myself. God has a real angel! - Posted by: Diane Moreau (Friend) on: Oct 23, 2012

• Glenna, Al, Glen, Immediate and Extended Family; it is very sad to hear the news of Sandy's passing. I remember back to my Army days of 1964-66, when many of my weekends were spent in Wpg with your Family. We had lots of fun, and a large part was due to Sandy's caring, happy go lucky nature. She made you feel so welcome, and was so very generous. She also had the ability to keep all "the boys" in line, if we got to rambunctious. She had a smile that would warm your heart, and it lit up the entire room. In these difficult times, Liz and I want to express our sincere sympathy, and want you to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers as you remember all the good times you have had with such a Wonderful Lady, as Sandy truly was. We will all miss her. Liz and Larry Lane, Parksville, BC. - Posted by: Larry Lane (Cousin) on: Oct 22, 2012

• Mommy...I am still waiting for you to call me just because. I am still wondering why you have left all of us much too soon. You were my rock; my best friend, the absolute love of our lives...G'Annah, Ge'Naye and I will never be the same. I do realize though that you would have never left me if you knew we wouldn't be okay...I will love you and miss you for all eternity. You will be right here.... - Posted by: GLENNA (DAUGHTER) on: Oct 22, 2012

• I worked with Sandra. She was my go to girl at Head Office and she was one of the dearest,most caring people I met in my 15 years working with her. I was so glad to hear she was retiring and taking life at a slower pace. My sympathy goes out to her daughter Glenna who I also had the pleasure of working with for a short time. She was one of those special people. I will keep you close in my prayers. - Posted by: Bev Lombaert (co worker) on: Oct 22, 2012

• A more giving person does not exist. Mrs. Sanderson was many things to me over the years. A surrogate mother, a confidante, and a very good friend to me and my family among others things. She always had a smile to share and a story to tell. She will be greatly missed by us all! - Posted by: Cindy Kantzioris (Family friend) on: Oct 21, 2012

Take care of yourselves, Love from Carol Kilmury-Lemire - Posted by: Carol Kilmury-Lemire (Friend) on: Oct 21, 2012

• When I was younger (8 or 10 or something), Sandy had just brought me something (a sandwich or cookie or something) so I said to her "Thanks Auntie, you're my favorite Aunt!" She looked so happy as she said "Aww, thanks, big guy." Then she thought about it for a moment, got an annoyed look on her face and said "I'm your only Aunt!" It became a running gag for us over the years, she'd be my Favorite Aunt and I'd be her Favorite Nephew; and when one of my uncles got married a few years later I told her "Don't worry, you're still my favorite!" Auntie Sandy was the kindest person I have ever known. I told her on more than one occasion that if she ever had a fault, it was that she was too generous. We are better for having known her, and it will be difficult to get by without her. She will always be my Favorite Aunt. - Posted by: Jason Lane (Nephew) on: Oct 21, 2012
