Sandra Catherine

Gaudet

It is with profound sadness that the family of Sandra Gaudet (nee Fry) announce her passing, on November 8, 2026, at the age of 85.

Sandra is predecesed by her parents, Richard and Shirley Fry, her sister Annette and sister-in-law Joanne. She is survived by her brother Richard, also her sons, Randy (Lynne), and Peter, her Grandsons, Brent (Oge) and Daniel (Joana), as well as her Great Grandsons, Jack and Robert.

Sandra Catherine Fry was born to Richard and Shirley Fry on April 15th, 1941 in Halifax, Nova Scotia. She spent the majority of her youth in the Halifax area but her adventurous spirit and the love for the big city moved her and her 2 sons to Ontario in 1969 where she spent the rest of her life. Sandra's adventures also took her to many countries in Europe and Asia where she experienced the food and culture while making many new friends along the way.

A giver by nature, Sandra lovingly cared for her Mother, her Aunt, an Uncle and Sister whenever they needed her. Sandra was always ready to support, and nurse others. Her generous spirit and huge heart were visible every day and not only with family. For several Christmases Sandra handed out sandwiches to struggling homeless individuals and always had cookies in her car to support them regularly.

Sandra had many other special qualities too. Every summer Sandra would transform her balcony into a lush garden. Her hard work was thoroughly enjoyed as she spent countless hours watching the birds and squirrels revel in the space she had created. Sandra's hard work and artistic flair was noticeable inside the home as well. She could take any ordinary room and turn it into a masterpiece. The kitchen was also a place where Sandra excelled. Her love of cooking and baking was enjoyed for decades.

Even with all Sandra's talents and special traits our beloved Sandra is best described as fiercely independent and chose to live life on her terms. As per Sandra's wishes there will be no funeral.

The family would like to express their immense gratitude to Sandra's Palliative Care Nurses at RVH, Dr. Essington for her genuine compassion and the entire team at Hospice Simcoe for their excellent support and kindness while providing Sandra with the dignity she deserved.

In lieu of flowers, donations to Hospice Simcoe would be greatly apprecitated.

Forever in our hearts, The Family.
