Introduced by her mother, Jack and Sandra married in 1962. In 1967 the happy couple moved to the Riverview area, where they would live the rest of their lives. Sandra loved the neighbourhood and made many lasting friendships in the community over the years. Then in 1969 they welcomed their son Christopher into their lives.
An avid dog-lover, pampering them with love and treats. In turn they idolized her with affection and brought her much joy.
Sandra loved summers at her cottage in Ponemah, creating fond memories with her family and friends. Sitting in a beach chair with her feet in the water, drink in hand, was how she could be found most summer days.
She loved to travel. Cruises in the Caribbean, numerous trips to Las Vegas with Jack and family vacations to Hawaii, BC & California. A couple of years ago she ventured on her last trip abroad with her children Chris & Jin, to Las Vegas to see the Strip one last time.
She had so much love to share and all who knew her felt blessed. Sandra Gagne will be forever remembered and loved.
A Celebration of Sandra's Life will be held at a later date.
The family suggest memorial contributions to the The Canadian Cancer Society or the Humane Society
