Barbara Stoppy Sanford Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 19, 2024.
Barbara (Van Ness) Stoppy Sanford, aged 86, passed away on July 12, 2024, in Juno Beach, FL. Born on July 1, 1938, in Paterson, NJ, Barbara was a cherished member of the community and a resident at the Waterford Retirement Community in her later years.

Barbara spent her early life in Paterson, NJ, where she attended Central High School. She first married Bill Stoppy, and the couple lived in Minnetonka, MN, until his passing in 1992. Later, she moved to Florida, where she met and married Kenneth Sanford 5/2/2002. Together, they traveled the world on cruises, embracing the joys of exploration and adventure. Barbara remained active in her community and a strong supporter of friends and felines.

She is preceded in death by her father, Harold Van Ness; mother, Marie Ripmester; and her spouses, William Stoppy and Kenneth Sanford. Barbara is survived by her stepchildren Carolyn Sanford, Father Stephen Sanford S.J., Marjorie Ketzler, Joanne Cherpack, and Elaine Yanak, who so appreciate her generous spirit and all the happiness she brought to their dad in his later years up to his passing in 2020.

Those wishing to honor Barbara's memory can make contributions to the ASPCA. There will be a memorial gathering held on August 26th at 11 am with a service at noon at Palm Beach National Chapel, Lake Worth, Florida. Please bring your memories and photos to share or post them on the online guestbook if you're unable to attend.
