GRIFFITHS, Sandra Ann (nee Walter), 75, on Thursday, May 25, 2017. Beloved wife of 20 years of Larry Griffiths; loving step-mother of Debbie Geno, Dawn (Jim) Simon, and Don (Charlotte) Griffiths; dear grandmother of Michelle (Andy) Wall, Emily Geno, Janie (Jason) Kern, Jimmy (Laurie) Simon, Matt (Fadia) Simon, and Andrea (Ole) Eiker; great grandmother of Mason, Harper, Landon, Hunter, and Charlie; dear sister of the late Fred Walter.
Born in St. Louis to Fred and Dorothy (nee Mark) Walter, Sandy joined the StLCCA in the mid 1960's, serving as president and leader of the organization for over 40 years, until her retirement in 2007. She managed hundreds of volunteers and thousands of carolers, produced recordings, holiday cards, and Christmas Carols Festivals in addition to the annual neighborhood caroling, all to benefit children. Under her guidance, the StLCCA provided over 70 area children's agencies with thousands of dollars in funds to support their efforts. The St. Louis Christmas Carols Association exists today because of her dedication to the organization, its history and its mission. She also was a dispatcher for the Clayton and Richmond Heights Police Departments. She and Larry married in December of 1997 after 10 years of friendship and love.
SERVICES: The family will welcome friends and neighbors on Saturday, June 3, 2017 from 12pm until time of service at 1pm at KRIEGHAUSER MORTUARY WEST CHAPEL 9450 Olive. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions are greatly appreciated to the St. Louis Christmas Caroling Association (http://stlchristmascarols.org/) or Siteman Cancer Center (www.siteman.wustl.edu).
