Sandra Kay Gray, of Warsaw, went home to be with the Lord at 10:38 a.m. on Friday, June 11, 2021, at Lutheran Hospital of Fort Wayne at age of 84.
She was born on Oct. 10, 1936, in Akron, to Evelyn Cedonia Kuhn Krieg and Dale William Krieg. Sandra was a 1954 graduate of Akron High School in Akron and has lived in Kosciusko County for the past 44 years. She had her hands full raising six children and working full-time jobs outside the home.
She worked for a number of years at Gatke’s, Chambers Electronics in Akron and later, she was a familiar face working at Kroger in Warsaw as a cashier. Sandra was a proud Avon representative for 20 years, member of Life Changes Book Club and past president of the Home Ec Club in Mentone. Sandra was also a caregiver for Seasons Home Care in Warsaw.
She loved being the organist at Akron Church of God and worshiping through her gift of music. She did so much for everyone else, putting the needs of others first and providing for her family. Sandra’s heart always had room to give more, and she will be dearly missed.
