THORNDYKE, Sandra

November 2, 1951 to June 4th 2025.

It is with great sadness and heartbreak that we announce our mother, Sandy Thorndyke, passed away unexpectedly in her home on Wednesday June 4th, 2025.

Sandy is survived by her 2 children, Mark and Kimberly (Adam Smith), her grandchildren Danica, Kiera, and Emmett. Sister to Keith Weaver (Jeanette), Aunt to Gordon, David, and Scott. Mother to the late Tracy Thorndyke (1981-2012).  Daughter to the late Betty and Charles Weaver.

Sandy was born in Johannesburg South Africa then later moved to Toronto.

Sandy loved animals, nature, music arts and crafts, sunbathing, and the fresh country air.

Sandy spent over half her life as a caregiver, not only as a Nurse, but also as a mother and a grandmother. Caring for two special needs children, she gave everything of herself to her children.

Sandy’s kindness and love stretched beyond her family and friends, and into the Elmvale community. She loved to volunteer in her younger years and be involved in events within our little town of Elmvale.

Our mother was truly a special woman and we will miss her more than words could ever express.

Donations can be made to the Presbyterian Church, the Cancer Society, or the Epilepsy Foundation.

“You are a light guiding the way for us. You are deeply loved and will forever be missed. Until we meet again.”
