Sandra (Notestine) Watkins of Worthington passed away peacefully on Wednesday, March 1, 2023, at the OSU Wexner Medical Center after living the final decades of her 83 years with a series of chronic illnesses.
Sandy was born on June 25, 1939, in Bellefontaine, Ohio, to Robert J. Notestine, Sr. and Dorothy (Koch) Notestine and is survived by her husband Paul, daughters Wendy and Susan, son Rob, granddaughters Emily and Kate, brother Robert J. (Dorothy) Notestine, Jr and several generations of much-loved nieces, nephews, cousins and pets.
Sandy’s life revolved around her family and friends and she had the uncanny ability to find out the life story of anyone she met. As neighborhood mom, she is fondly remembered by her kids’ friends as keeping the best-stocked snack cupboard in Worthington.
In spite of her many health challenges, she retained her cheerful disposition and her boundless capacity of finding pleasure in life until the end. She will be deeply missed by all those who had the good fortune to know her.
A Celebration of Life will be Saturday, March 18, from noon until 3 p.m., at the Schoedinger Worthington Funeral Home, 6699 North High St., Worthington OH, 43085.
