Sandra Jean Fry, 74, of New Castle, passed away on Sunday, January 10, 2021. She was born on September 11, 1946 in Huntington, WV. and was the daughter of Robert L. and Veda M. Ramsey. On December 24, 1966, she married her beloved husband, Brady G. Fry. They celebrated 54 years of marriage on Christmas Eve. She was preceded in death on October 31, 2003, by her son, Heath Edward Fry. Sandra was not only a homemaker, she was a voracious reader and an Anglophile who was amazing at crossword puzzles and Jeopardy. Before Google, there was Sandra. She was a loving and devoted mother. She served as a girl and boy scout leader, the town's cookie chairman, and class mother for years. Her children's friends loved to congregate at her home, which became a second home to many over the years. She was an accomplished cook and always had something on the stove to offer those who stopped to visit. She was a cool mom and grandmother who was up on music, pop culture and loved attending concerts, especially rock and roll. She became a Master Gardener and loved plants and volunteered with Friends of the Library. Her best quality was her kindness and empathy; and her friends loved her for it. She had health issues for years that confined her mobility and she rarely complained. Her tenacity came from growing up in Appalachia and she was proud of her people and her roots. Her heritage will forever live on in her children and grandchildren. She was free-spirted, strong-willed and independent. She will be missed by all. In addition to her husband Brady and dog, Jack, she is survived by her children; Stephanie and her husband, John Nevotne, and Heather and her husband Richard Seaman. She adored her grandchildren and they her. Molly and husband Phil Nawrocki, Zoeie Seaman and fiancé Joseph Forbes and great-grand child, Lucas. Tristan Nevotne, Hadley Fry and Karic Fry as well as her many nieces and nephews and their children. They all cherished her.
