AUBURN- Sandra Frateschi Belanger, 84, of Poland Spring, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family on October 14, 2025. Born on March 10, 1941, to Nelmo and Gertrude Frateschi. She was married to her high school sweetheart and love of her life, Richard Belanger, Sr. for 64 years.

She graduated from Lewiston High School in 1959 and remained an active reunion committee member to this day. Sandra owned Adam & Eve’s Hair Boutique with her sister, Lisa, in Lewiston for many years. Sandra, also known as Noune, collected recipes and loved cooking special family recipes for those she loved. She loved reminiscing about her family, capturing every moment both in presence and photography, including summers at Tripp Lake, visits to the Ocean, her time enjoying Florida winters, and always her children and grandchildren. Above all else, family was truly everything to her.

Sandra will be remembered and missed for being the most loving, compassionate, and giving person, as a wife, mother, grandmother (Naunie), sister, aunt to her large family, and loyal friend to everyone she met. Her smile was contagious, along with her outgoing and fun personality, all of which lit up every room.
