Sandra Kay Chase

Sandra Kay Chase, 81, of Lynchburg, Virginia, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family, on Tuesday, July 9, 2024. She was the daughter of the late Aidan and Linda Lafoe, and the loving wife of Raymond Chase for 43 years.

She was born on June 23, 1943, in Enosburg Falls, Vermont. She attended Hartford High School, then started her beautiful family. Along with raising a large family, including fostering children, she worked various jobs over the years, none more important than raising her family; to include her grandchildren and great grandchildren, as they came into her life. What everyone knew most about her was how caring, loving, giving and selfless she was. She never knew a stranger. There wasn't a thing she wouldn't do for family and friends alike. 

She was a member of Covenant Presbyterian Church in Lynchburg, Virginia for many years, where she served on various committees. She enjoyed traveling with her Husband and was happiest when her home was filled with her family.
