Saundra Brautigam Obituary
ANNA - Saundra "Sandy" Brautigam, age 76, of Anna, passed away on Saturday, February 3, 2024, at her daughter's home in Sidney.
She was born on April 22, 1947, in Sidney, Ohio, to the late Stanley and Margaret (Arnold) Nichols.
She married David "Dave" Brautigam on July 27, 1968, at Holy Angels Catholic Church in Sidney. This union would span over 55 years, and he survives.
In addition to her husband, Sandy is survived by three children: Lynn of Maplewood, Steve (Amanda) of Sidney, and Kathryn of Sidney; two grandchildren: Aaron and Kyle; Godchild: Sarah Beair; two brothers: Jim (Deb) Nichols of Botkins and David Nichols of Port Jefferson; one sister: Vickie (David) Pierson of Piqua; sisters-in-law: Barb (Ken) Chorba, Karen (Steve) Ott, brother-in-law: Paul (Cyndi) Brautigam; and many nieces nephews. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her brother-in-law: Keith Brautigam.
Sandy was a 1965 graduate of Sidney High School. She retired in 2007 after 30 years as the guidance secretary at Sidney High School. Sandy was active in crafting, card-playing, classic car cruise-ins, and antiquing. She enjoyed spending time with her children and grandchildren. Sandy attended Sacred Heart Catholic Church in McCartyville. She will be remembered for being a wonderful mom, grandmother, and friend, and for always being so pleasant and helpful at home and work. Sandy will be dearly missed by her loving family and friends who enjoyed her fun-loving spirit. She fought a courageous battle with Parkinson's Disease for over 10 years.

Sandy did such a wonderful job managing the flow of kid traffic in our SHS guidance department, and she did so cheerfully with an occasional sprinkle of sarcasm that made everyone on our staff laugh. What a lovely lady! She reminded us all to celebrate every crazy day in this life. Her patience and dedication will not be forgotten.
