Of Aberfoyle, born March 13, 1940 in Guelph. It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Sandra on May 13, 2018. Predeceased by her parents Clifford and Vera Gordon. Loving sister to Robert (Lis) Gordon, Roger (Audrey) Gordon and Anne (the late Brian) Shaw. Devoted mother of Lance (Stephanie), Leanne (Jim), Barclay and Anita (Susan). Adored grandmother “Gaga” of Brooke, Aaron, Alex and Andrew, known as “Grandma” to so many, and as “Hub” to so many more. Loved and cherished by her nieces and nephews. Will be fondly remembered by Diane and Peter Granka. Sandra was known for her beautiful singing voice and large heart, not to mention her out-of-this-world baking skills.
