Sandra L. Hunter

Sandra Louise 'McKnight' Hunter Known by her family and friends as "Sandy" "Gram Frog", or Grandma, left this world on February 26, 2016 to join her late husband, George "Pap" Hunter with our heavenly lord. George died just a few months shy of their 55th anniversary. Sandy had a love for life that she shared with her 3 children, 5 grandchildren, and 1 great grandchild. Those who knew her know how much she adored her large collection of frog trinkets, figurines, stuffed animals, and many articles of clothes. She was honored with the coveted "Froggie Person of the Month" award for December 1986. Sandy had an amazing soul for helping people and animals. This was demonstrated by over 3 decades caring for the residents of Little Sisters of the Poor retiring at the age of 74. She always opened her heart and in many cases her home for all the kids of Avalon and Bellevue and was adored by all. She had a feisty side and never was shy about giving her opinion which added to her kindred spirit. Her death was unexpected and her life fell short of her goal of 100. She once said the value of a parent was measured by the impact one has on the life of a child. Based on this measure of success Sandy will find her place among the heavenly angels and keep her eye out for all the children and animals of the world. Her love of animals was showcased by all the dogs, cats, fish, and rabbits that were part of her family. She treated all of her pets with passion and most outlived their life expectancy by years including one fish that survived over 25 years and died just weeks before which Sandy. The family spent time together with friends and chose to mourn the loss of our beloved mother privately. Any donations should be made to Animal Friends in Ben Avon or St. Jude in honor of Sandy Hunter. In addition to being preceded in death by her husband, George and her parents Samuel and Hilda Mcknight, she is survived by her brother Samuel Jr. and wife Marita McKnight and all their family. She is survived by her children. They are Susan and Kevin Reilly of New York City; Sharon Topka and Ronald Miller of Fombell, PA; George III and Candace Hunter of Cincinnati, OH. Her surviving grandchildren are Shannon Topka and Andy Vetterly of Avalon, PA; Brandon Reilly of New York City; George IV, Jacob, and Ryan Hunter of Cincinatti. Her surviving great grandchild is Jaxon Vetterly of Avalon.
