Sandra Stedman Obituary
Sandra A. Stedman passed away on Thursday July 25, 2019. Mom was 83 years of age and born in Lowell Massachusetts in 1935. Mom and dad moved to St. Augustine in 1962 with mom working at Flagler Hospital and dad teaching at St. Augustine Highs school. She was preceded in death by her daughter Christina A.(Stedman) VonLeue.
Mom leaves behind her husband of 62 years Halver Stedman, son Duffy Stedman, grandchildren Kory VonLeue, Nathaniel Stedman USAF, Karen Thomas and Emily Leavens.
She was blessed with 4 great grandchildren with a fifth on the way.
To know her was to love her. As she leaves this world it makes us realize how many babies she has helped bring into this community as the head of labor and delivery at St. Augustine General Hospital. She was born to be a nurse with strong hands, a soft voice, listening ears and a understanding heart. Not only was she a great nurse but she was a great mom and wife. Both her and my dad had a love of the state of Maine and summered there at their cottage for most of their lives.
A celebration service will be held 10 AM Wednesday at Craig Funeral Home followed by a burial at Craig Memorial Park.
Flowers are accepted or those wishing may make a donation in her memory to the local PBS station.
To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

Hal, Duffy and family - I am so sorry for your loss. I have many fond memories of visiting Sandy (and Hal) at camp on Levelful Lane. Sandy was always so welcoming, interested, and quick-witted. I so enjoyed her company and her humor. She was the best of the best and I will miss her. The Lane won't be the same. And I dare say that I won't ever drive up to an intersection without hearing her say Clear on the right Halver! ❤

Sandra was a wonderful person and a wonderful friend.I met Sandy when her husband,Hal, and I worked together at Nease High School in the early 1980's.My wife and I shared a great friendship with Hal and Sandy for over 30 years. We enjoyed many travels, social and professional events, and cribbage games together.
My love, prayers, and condolences go out to Hal, Duffy, and the whole family.
I'm sorry that I won't be able to attend the service for Sandy because I am currently in Maine for the summer, but Sandy would understand that.
Rest in peace, sweet lady. Ayuh.

Sandra was a beautiful person. She always had a smile to share, a listening ear and a big heart. It was a privilege to know and work with her during her many home health Physical Therapy visits. Rest In Peace YaYa.
