Sandra Rhea of Bellingham, WA, passed
away April 23, 2003 at St. Francis
Extended Health Care. She was death in 1993, with
the assistance of her daughter Shannon
for 4 more years until it was sold. In
the last 8 years she has enjoyed living
in her beautiful condo overlooking
Bellingham Bay. She truly believed she
was at home in her condo. She
collected angels and cherubs and
whimsical lady vases. She fought her
cancer hard over the last two months,
but it was time to go quietly to heaven
with the Angels on April 23rd. She was
surrounded by love and laughter. We
have no doubt that when she reunited
with Herb that he was watching one
baseball game and listening to
another. Sandra’s motto was to Live
Simply, Laugh Often, and Love Deeply.
We pray that all who were touched by
her live by her motto.
Sandra was preceded in Cemetery.
