Sandra J. Szabo, 85, of Fountain Hill, passed away peacefully on Monday, February 23, 2026, She was the devoted wife of the late Eugene Szabo for 61 years, who passed away on October 7, 2021.

Born and raised in Pen Argyl, she was the daughter of the late Elwood and Olive (Strouse) Lohman. Sandy was a proud graduate of Bangor High School and the Haff Hospital School of Practical Nursing. Throughout her life, she was known for her strong work ethic, warm personality, and deep devotion to those she loved.

For 30 years, Sandy was the owner and manager of the former Unique Floral Creations in Fountain Hill, where she poured her creativity and heart into every arrangement and built lasting friendships within the community. She later worked as a receptionist at St. Luke's Hospital at the patient information desk, where her welcoming smile and kind presence brought comfort to countless patients and families.

Sandy found joy in life's simple pleasures. She loved cooking and baking for her family, tending to her garden, and creating a warm and inviting home.

Most of all, she treasured her family. The many years spent vacationing in Wildwood Crest became some of her most cherished memories.

She was also blessed with great-grandchildren, Leo and Elena, who brought her even more joy in recent years.
