IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Sandra J.
"Sandy" Smith Myers
August 14, 1949 – March 22, 2024
With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Sandra J. "Sandy" Myers on March 22, 2024, a resilient soul who graced this earth with her presence for seventy-four years. Sandra faced the challenges of a Parkinson's diagnosis with unwavering grace and dignity for over two decades, embodying strength in the face of adversity. Born on August 14, 1949, in El Dorado, AR, she is the daughter of Barbara (Bridgman) Dixon of Willow Street, and the late Jack Myers.
A devoted mother to her daughter Sarah Bridgman Smith of Lancaster, and a loving wife to Charles E. Smith II of Willow Street, with whom she shared over 46 years of marriage. Sandra's nurturing spirit radiated through her roles as both a parent and a partner. Known for her exceptional hosting skills, Sandy welcomed countless friends and family members into her home with warmth and generosity.
She graduated from the University of Colorado with a Bachelor of Arts and dedicated over 22 years as a purser for Pan American World Airways. In her leisure time, Sandy found joy in the simple pleasures of life. She delighted in playing tennis, solving crossword puzzles, and engaging in spirited games of bridge and Scrabble. Her collection of seashells from Sanibel Island, Florida, was a testament to her love of the ocean and the beauty of nature.
Sandra's altruistic nature shone through her volunteer work at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and her involvement in various charitable organizations. She was a former President of the Board of the Cathedral Gardens at St. John the Divine, a longtime member of the New York Junior League and St. James Episcopal Church, and an honorary board member of Health Advocates for Older People in New York.
Her memory will be cherished by her mother, husband, daughter, brothers Robert Myers of Houston, TX and Marcus Dixon (Karen) of Huntsville, AL, and all those who were privileged to know her.
A Celebration of Sandy's life, love and spirit will be held at 1 PM on Saturday, April 27, 2024, at the Willow Valley Communities, Spring Run Auditorium, 950 Willow Valley Lakes Dr., 5th Floor, Willow Street, PA 17584.
