Sandra A. Metcalf, 67, of Uhrichsville, passed away on Tuesday, February 4, 2014, at Schoenbrunn Healthcare in New Philadelphia, after a lengthy illness. Born April 2, 1946 in Dennison, she was a daughter of the late William Struthers “Dobbin” and Marie Sarah (Decker) Metcalf.

A 1964 graduate of Uhrichsville High School, Sandy lived in the Twin City area throughout her life.

Sandy is survived by a sister and brother-in-law, Jennie and Dan McCue of Dennison; sister-in-law, Nancy Metcalf of Mansfield; and many nieces and nephews. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her brothers, Herbert and William Metcalf, and sisters, Linda Metcalf and Martha Rataiczak.
