WINCHESTER — Paul Edward "Monk" Sanders, 68, of Roodhouse and formerly of Alsey passed away Saturday, Nov. 3, 2018, at Passavant Area Hospital.

He was born March 9, 1950, in Alsey, the son of the late Thomas Frank and Della Hepworth Sanders. He attended Alsey and Winchester schools. Monk worked for 50 years for Alsey Refractories and 20 years part-time for the City of Roodhouse. He was preceded in death by his longtime companion, Ruby Newingham; two brothers, Robert Allen and Thomas Steven Sanders; and three sisters, Mary Elizabeth Sanders, Luetta Kay Klaas and Mary Jean Castleberry.

Surviving are two brothers, David Sanders and Charles Sanders, and a sister, Debbie (Gary) Wells, all of Alsey; and numerous nieces and nephews. He will always be remembered for his special songwriting for family and friends at their passing from this life, and his willingness to help others in need.
