Sandra Fallows Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Swartz-Givnish Funeral Home, Inc. on Apr. 10, 2025.
With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Sandra Fallows, who left us peacefully on March 25, 2025, at the age of 77. Born on November 2, 1947, in Barnet, England, Sandra's journey took her across the ocean to the United States in 1981, where she and her beloved husband, John Fallows, built a life together after marrying in November of that year. What was meant to be a six-month work placement turned into a lifetime of love, laughter, and cherished memories.
Sandra was the life of every gathering-quick-witted, full of humor, and deeply loved by all who knew her. Her presence lit up a room, and her laughter was contagious. She had a passion for gardening, was an avid tennis fan and an animal lover. She liked nothing more than watching the sunset in Florida on the Gulf Coast, probably with a gin and tonic in hand.
She is reunited in peace with her son, Marc Bayford, her departed siblings, Norman Hall, Thirza Smith, and Ruth Lawley, and her stepson Andrew Fallows. She leaves behind her devoted husband, John Fallows, her dear brother, Melvyn Hall, her lovely stepdaughter, Karen Brown (Allan), her endearing step grandchildren Joshua and Abbie Fallows, her cherished daughter-in-law, Andrea Bayford, and her two wonderful grandchildren, Paige and Evan Bayford, who brought her endless joy. She will also be missed by many nieces and nephews along with many friends who will forever remember her warmth, kindness, and unwavering love.
We invite all who knew Sandra to a visitation on Thursday, April 3, 2025 from 10:00-11:30am at Swartz Givnish Funeral Home, 323 Washington Avenue, Newtown, PA 18940.
Inurnment will be private.
Sandra's light will continue to shine in the hearts of those who loved her. In honor of her love for animals and Florida, the family welcomes donations to the Seaside Seabird Sanctuary in Indian Shores, Florida. https://seasideseabirdsanctuary.org/

Aunty Sandra

Me and Mandy are very sad to lose a wonderful Aunty. You were more of a friend Sandra, as you were much younger than Thirza our mum, and not much older than us. You and mum were always close,and we have many happy memories of your visits to Stamford, especially the day when your beautiful dog ate one of mum's special corned beef pies that was meant for our lunch. You´d travelled a long way for that pie but we had to laugh, once we knew the dog was ok, after a cut tongue from the broken glass dish. You were always very caring and fun to be with, and will always be a special part of our lives. Sending our love and deepest sympathy to everyone you leave behind.
Ginny and Mandy

Auntie Sandra. I have many fond memories of you, even going back to Hatfield when I was just a young boy. I remember you as a kind, funny, warm and loving human being. In the more recent years I will forever cherish the chats we had together and how we both shared memories of my Dad, your big brother, Norm. We both loved you very much and knew that this was returned. Auntie Sandra (knew you hated this haha) you will always have a special place in mine and my family's heart. I hope you are now reunited with Marc and all your loved ones. God Bless you and goodnight until we meet again xx

What can I say about my Auntie Sandra? She was witty and fun, with a sharp intelligence that suffered no fools and a soft heart as huge as the Grand Canyon. After my brother Matthew died age 21 in 1985, every year on his birthday she sent my parents flowers as she wanted to honour the day he was born, rather than the day he died. I loved her for that alone, and I promise Sandy to honour you every 2nd November in whatever way I can. God bless you xx

I first met Marc and Sandra in May 1972, Marc was a shy 5 year old who live opposite my house. I have always felt that Sandra helped nurture Marc´s early friendship's something I will forever be grateful for. Sandra always made us so welcome in their house, I have fond memories of the 1970´s and how she always opened their front door with a smile and gestured for us to come in.
Once Marc moved to the US I was able to see Sandra again on a more frequent basis. She was always vibrant, funny, welcoming and pleasant to be in the company of. Sadly I never got to say goodbye or sit and talk for one last time. What hurts most is that I never got to thank her for Marc ,for her warmth and the fact she made it so easy for two shy awkward kids to become life long friends. She has been a part of my life for over 53 years and will be very sadly missed.

As a childhood friend of Marc´s I have fond memories of Sandra from Hatfield in England. She was the image of Chris Evert the famous Tennis Player. We were always welcome in Marc´s home. They are now reunited and I´m sure will be stars of the show in their new home. Bless you Sandra.
