Sandra Reese

Sandra "Sandy" Reese, a beacon of love and laughter, passed away peacefully on Oct. 18, 2024, in Greenwood Nursing, Hometown.

Born on June 19, 1948, in Palmerton, Sandy was the daughter of Leroy and Rosemary (Miller) Strohl. She lived a life characterized by her unwavering faith, her capacity for friendship and her delight in humor. Her husband, Arthur, passed in June of 2024.

Sandy is survived by her son, Donald Reese of Jim Thorpe, and her brothers, Leroy Strohl, also of Jim Thorpe, and Samuel Strohl, of Mahoning Valley. Her passion for evangelical religion was a cornerstone of her existence, inspiring those around her to seek joy and meaning in their own lives.

Known for her loving nature, funny anecdotes and friendly demeanor, Sandy left an indelible mark on the hearts of all who knew her. Her presence will be profoundly missed yet celebrated in cherished memories.

Sandy is missed by her Opera House family. She was a mainstay there, and we loved her as our MCOH mama. I will never forget those good old days. Peace be with you, Sandy, and with your surviving family.

Sandy will be missed. She was a kind, caring lady who loved to be involved at the Opera House. A walk or drive up or down Broadway was all the more fun when you could wave at Sandy or stop to chat for a while. Condolences to Don.
