Sandra Kay Stevens
Plainfield, Indiana - Sandra (Sandy) Kay Stevens, age 48, born Sandra
Kay Isaacs on August 23, 1948 in Goshen, Elkhart Co, Indiana died
Wednesday, February 26, 1997 at 7 am at her home at 310 Wabash St. in
Plainfield. She had been battling cancer for two years.
She was the daughter of Gerald LeRoy Isaacs, a WWII veteran,
carpenter and painter, and Hope DeVere Johnson Raeder.
Sandra was born and raised in Elkhart County. On October 8, 1966, in
Goshen, Indiana, she married Phillip U.D. Straw. Phillip served a tour
of duty in Vietnam as a Marine and their first son, Andrew U.D. (Andy),
was born March 19, 1969 at Camp LeJeune, North Carolina. Their second
child, Jason Lee, was born September 18, 1973 in Goshen.
Sandra's sons are both married. Andrew, a law student at Indiana
University, married Paola Voci, daughter of Sergio and Lauretta (Franca)
Voci , on July 16, 1994 in Ferrara, Italy. Andrew is a ten-year resident
of Bloomington. Paola is pursuing a Ph.D. in Chinese. Jason, now serving as
a medic in the Army's 82nd Airborne Division at Fort Bragg, North Carolina,
married Beckie, daughter of James Williams and Linda Brinkley
of California. Beckie is also in the Army and serves at Fort Bragg, HHC,
18th Airborne Corps.
Jason and Becki presented Sandy with her first grandchild, Zachary
Michael, born at Ft. Bragg, just days ago on February 24, 1997.
Shortly after Phillip's discharge from the Marines and the couple's
return to Goshen, they opened the Community Locker, a frozen meat
specialty store which they operated from 1972 to 1984. In 1987 Phillip
and Sandra divorced. Sandra went back to school and completed an
associates degree in computer programming at Ivy Tech Vocational
College's South Bend campus.
Sandra worked as a programmer for the Bristol Corporation from1986 to
1988, then for Pilgrim Farms in Plymouth until 1990. Then she moved to
Indianapolis to take a programmer/analyst position at the Hunt
Corporation's international headquarters. She held that position until
February 1996.
Sandra married James A. (Jim) Stevens, a U.S. Postal Service employee,
born in South Bend, Indiana in 1949. After a courtship of just under a year,
the couple were married on March 28, 1996 at a small outdoor ceremony at
Butler University's Holcomb Gardens. Sandra moved into her new husband's
home in Plainfield, where he still resides.
For the last two years, Sandy has been active in the Grace Fellowship
Church in Avon. Many of her dear friends from that congregation have
assisted in her care during the long illness.
Sandra also leaves a half-brother, Russell Johnson, and a half-sister,
Linda Johnson Paulson, both of Elkhart County, and a stepson and
stepdaughter, Luke and Joanna Stevens of Ocala, Florida.
A memorial service will be presided over by Sandra's pastor, Warren
Burns, at the Hall-Baker Funeral Home in Plainfield. This service will be
held at one o'clock p.m. Saturday, March 1st at the funeral home. Sandy
will be interred at the Maple Hill Cemetery in Plainfield.
