Sandra “Sandy” A. Elder, 71, of Union City, PA, passed away peacefully on September 24, 2025, at her home, surrounded by her beloved family. Born on July 15, 1954, Sandy was the daughter of Merle Graham and Betty Parkhurst Graham Sherman.

She was a proud graduate of Wattsburg High School and spent many fulfilling years as a telephone operator with Verizon.

Sandy was also a proud grandmother to Jeff, Alicia, Nichole, Michael, Alexis, Jonathan, and Madalyn, and enjoyed every second with them; a sister, Linda Hawkinson of Erie; two brothers, Randy Graham of Florida and Martin Graham of Erie; and a dear friend, Debbie Scheuer of Girard.

  11. Our thoughts are with you. It’s always hard to loose your Mom. They hold a special place in our hearts and I know your Mom will always be loved and remembered by her Children and Grandchildren and for the kind person that she was.
    She was always a good neighbor. During a recent summer She was the one who saw out her window when Lynn had tipped into the ditch with the riding mower and thankfully sent Carl to see what he could do when Lynn was calling for help. God sent a couple of other neighbors along to help Carl. May God be with you all thru these days ahead.
