Born on May 20, 1942, in Steubenville, Ohio, Sandra was one of three children of Clifford “Skip” and Cora Jean Virden Schultheis. A proud graduate of New Cumberland High School, she dedicated many years of her life working as a waitress in various beloved establishments throughout the Ohio Valley, where she was known for her warm smile and friendly service.

Sandra was a devoted member of the New Cumberland VFW Auxiliary, embracing her community with a giving heart.

Her family cherished the meals she prepared with love, there was nothing she couldn’t cook to perfection. Whether it was a Sunday dinner or a holiday feast, Sandra’s kitchen was the heart of many cherished memories.

Her love for country music filled her home with warmth, and she delighted in the simple pleasures of browsing local thrift stores, always finding treasures that brought her joy. Above all, Sandra loved her family unconditionally.

Her unwavering devotion, gentle spirit, and selfless love will forever remain in the hearts of those she leaves behind.
