Saundra Kay Haas
It is with both sadness and peace in our hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved mother Saundra Kay (Wells) Haas.
Sandy departed on her terms, as those who knew well would expect on January 19, 2024 at the age of 84 at The Eaton Community Palliative Care in Charlotte, MI.
Saundra was born in Charlotte, MI, September 15, 1939, the daughter of the late Geraldine “Gerry” and Fredrick “Louie” Wells. She was raised in the Vermontville area and attended local school graduating from Vermontville High School in 1957. After completing her education Sandy pursued a career as a Bank Teller with Michigan National Bank until 1961.
On April 10, 1960, Saundra was married to Mr. Arthur William Haas and the couple made their home together in the Vermontville area where they raised their family together. Art and Sandy enjoyed raising horses and supporting their girls in showing them.
Sandy was an avid Michigan State fan and loved her basketball. She was an active member of her community and was a member of the Vermontville General Federation of Women, #39’s Clubs, and was a past Treasurer of the Vermontville Cemetery.
Sandy is survived by her children, Kellie (Bruce) Hanford, Karen (Tony) Newton, Kimberly (John) Gray, grandchildren William (Jess) Newton, Peter Newton, Robert Hanford, Andrew Hanford, great granddaughter Vivienne Rose Newton, and her beloved furry babies Sophie and Dottie. She was preceded in death by her husband Arthur Haas.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to Eaton Community Palliative Care, Vermontville Historical Museum or the charity of the donor’s choice.
The family would like to express their deepest gratitude for the outpouring of love and support during this difficult time.
