Sandra (Runge) Spotts Obituary
Born September 15, 1942 in Crestline, OH to the late John and Vera Runge.
Sandy graduated from Galion High School in 1960. She was active in her children's endeavors and a volunteer for many organizations around Galion.
In the 1980's she moved to Fort Myers Beach, FL where she really enjoyed island living and owned a restaurant then a hardware store with her husband Jeffrey Spotts. They finally retired in 2021.
She was a wonderful, adventurous and caring Mother of Mike(Shari) Fox, Ed(Amy)Fox and Sheila Tuck. Grandchildren included Taylor Long, Kasey Fox, Collin Fox, Colbey Fox, Kim Tuck and Katie Tuck, sister in law Debby Shilling and many nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents and brothers Richard Runge and Ron Runge, and nieces Julie Runge, Bobbie Runge and April Runge.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
Memorial contributions can be made to the American Heart Association.

There was always a smile waiting at the hardware store. Sandy was part of the heart and soul of this island and we will never forget you. Rest in peace, sweet Sandy.
