Obituary

With her daughter holding her hand and her family surrounding her, Sandra Ruth Massie, 78, went to meet her Lord and Savior on December 11, 2023. Sandra was born in Washington, Indiana, September 20, 1945, to Harold and Mary Ruth (Grannan) Massie. She later made her home in Carmel and Fishers, Indiana.

Sandra received a Bachelors of Science Degree in Engineering from the Indiana Wesleyan University. She retired from the Naval Surface Warfare Center (commonly known as Crane) where she was an engineer. A woman of many talents and interests, Sandra enjoyed genealogy and gardening. She loved Bridge and participated in many tournaments. She was an avid Backgammon player. Sandra was a devoted Catholic and a member of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Catholic Church in Carmel, Indiana. She also attended Our Lady of Hope in Washington, Indiana. Sandra's love of history and her proud family ancestry led her to join the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Colonial Dames of America, and the First Special Service Force Association.

Those who now cherish Sandra's memory include: her daughter, Jillian (Kurt) Breidenstein of Fishers, Indiana; grandchildren: Harrison and Lucy Ruth Breidenstein; niece, Melissa (Peter) Wenzler of Grosse Pointe, Michigan; grandnieces: Grace Conrad, and Meredith Wenzler, grandnephews: Otto (Vashti) Wenzler, and James Wenzler. Sandra also leaves several beloved cousins and her best friend, Rosie Stuart.
