Sandra Ann Wagstaff, 86, of Wabash, Indiana, died Thursday, November 6, 2025, at Wellbrooke of Wabash. She was born on November 18, 1938, in Mt. Vernon, Ohio, to Lawrence Edward and Helen (Doup) St. John.

A huge fan of Elvis Pressley, listening to his gospel music was a fave of hers. Sandra was famous for her German chocolate cake and lemon bars. Above all else, her love for her family and her Savior, Jesus Christ, were most important. Her faith is what will provide comfort to her family.
