It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Sandra Kettle of Grand Bay, NL, at the age of 80. Sandra was a beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, friend, and neighbor. Born in Grand Bay, NL, she was the cherished daughter of the late Ernest and Annie Kettle.

Sandra was a kind, gentle, and private woman who showed goodness to everyone she encountered. She truly enjoyed life's simplest pleasures, especially losing herself in a good book or going for long walks with her friends. Her quiet nature, unwavering kindness, and the beautiful memories she created will live on forever in the hearts of all who knew and loved her. You have gained your wings, Sandra; we will miss you forever.
