Shortly after graduating from Huntington High School, Sandra was married to the love of her life, Charles Sponaugle, and he survives. She and Charles raised three children together, and Sandra devoted her time to making certain they were well cared for.
Sandra loved participating in daily conversations with her friends. She would also enjoy helping her husband split and stack wood for the fireplace. She and her sister, Lou, would take yearly visits to Myrtle Beach. Christmas was Sandra’s favorite holiday, and she never encountered a Christmas tree that did not need more decorations. She was also an avid gardener and fan of NASCAR. Her favorite driver was Tony Stewart. Having been raised in the coal fields of West Virginia, she made sure that her cooking was always the best of the best. She will be forever missed by all who knew her.
In addition to her husband, Charles, Sandra is survived by her children, James (Marsha) Sponaugle, Rebecca (David) Trent, and Jeffrey (Kristin) Sponaugle; sisters, Lou Ellen (David) Davis, and Susan McElroy; and grandchildren, Abigail Trent, Ancil Trent, and Audrey Sponaugle.
In addition to her parents, Sandra was preceded in death by a brother, William Porter.
There will be a public visitation for Sandra held at Sunset Memory Garden Funeral Home on Sunday, July 29th from 1-3 pm, immediately followed by a funeral service.
Memorial contributions in Sandra’s name may be made to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society or the American Cancer Society.
