Sandra Lee Frye

Sandi was born July 8, 1940 in Spokane, Washington to Lillian Frances (Barnes) and Charles Ford Kinzel. She grew up in the Chehalis area and helped to raise her "baby brother" Bobby. Many summers were spent at beach houses where Sandi developed her love of the beach. She was also a member of the first graduating class of W.F. West High School in 1958.

Soon after high school, Sandi married Burton R. Gossard and they had three daughters. In 1980, she married James R. Frye and she raised three sons alongside her daughters.

Sandi loved traveling and camping. She also enjoyed playing card games, bingo with the ladies and visiting the casinos, especially with her dear friend, Dorothy.

Sandi was especially famous for her large elaborate holiday dinners. She was an amazing cook and always prepared fabulous feasts. She once made 27 pies for just one Thanksgiving!

Sandi is survived by her children, Sherie (Miguel) Venegas, Dianne (Darren) Bradley, Kristine Fuss, John (Julie) Frye, David Frye and Dean (Lisa) Frye; 10 grandchildren; and 15 great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Fran Pruessing and Charles Kinzel; brother, Robert C. (Bob) Kinzel; husband, Jim Frye; and grandson, Uriah Fry.
