Sandra Jean Harpham
1/31/38 to 10/12/2024
Sandra Harpham (Rascher) 86 years old, from Standish-Sterling/Bay City Michigan (born in Iowa) was called to her final resting place on Saturday the 12th of October 2024. Sandra was a proud mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, wife, sister, and friend to many. She enjoyed attending her grandkids sporting events, and was always known for her Rice Krispie treats. When she wasn't attending sporting events, she was watching her grandkids and local neighborhood kids. Planning picnics and going put-put golfing. If the Detroit Tigers or any little league baseball games were on, she would be watching and cheering. She loved being at the lake, looking for sea glass, shopping, card making, and baking. Using her many talents, Sandra was known for making wedding cakes, graduation desserts and birthday cakes. She was always wise beyond her years and had a heart of gold.
Sandra is survived by her sons Dr. Michael (Sue) Harpham, and Ted (Cheri) Harpham. Brother Chuck (Karen) Rascher. Sister-in-law Sue Shoemaker. Grand kids: Nichole Harpham, Kyle (Reba) Harpham & family, Clayton (Haley) Harpham & family, TJ (Jennifer) Harpham & family, Shane (Melissa) Harpham & family, Wesley (Alicia) Harpham & family. As well as many nieces and nephews.
The family will be honoring Sandra's wishes with cremation and no services at this time. The family thanks you for all the support during this time. The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to Great Lakes Rehab Center and Heartland Hospice for their care.
