Sandra G. (Witherell) Thetonia

 Sandra G (Witherell) Thetonia, 81,  passed away peacefully in her home with her loving care giver, husband of 30 years, Richard by her side on May 27^th 2022. She was born in Auburn. Maine, on October 5, 1940, to the late Raymond G and Dorothy L (Buck) Witherell.

Sandra Graduated from Lewiston High School, 1958 and graduated from Mass General Hospital as a Registered Nurse in 1961 and in 1976 she graduated from Bridgewater State College with a Bachelor of Science Degree. Over the years Sandra held many positions in the medical field and retired from Taunton State Hospital in an Assistant Director of Nursing position in 1995.

In her retirement Sandra relocated to Florida and worked another 10 years before retiring again as a Director of Nursing in a long-term care facility. She and Richard moved to a 55+ Golf Course community, Schalamar Creek, in Lakeland Florida on the 12^th green with a beautiful pond in her back yard.  Everyone there travelled in their own golf cart and she lived in their dream home for 20 years.

Sandra and Richard moved back to Taunton in November 2016, because of Sandra's failing: health issues and the need to be near family. They moved to another wonderful 55+ community, Colonial Estates, with wonderful neighbors that helped and enabled Richard to care for Sandra at home, along with his family and Compassionate Care Hospice.
