Sandra Carol Bish Binder
Sandra Carol “Sandy” Bish Binder, 70, of Butler, died on Monday, January 2,
2023, in Good Samaritan Hospice in Cabot.
She was born on September 20, 1952, in Kittanning, PA to the late Robert C. Bish
& Rachel L. (Bennett) Bish Dunham.
She was a 1970 graduate of Worthington-West Franklin High School, Worthington,
Pa.
Over the years, Sandy has worn many hats. From Girl Scout Troup Leader to Bingo
Bus Coordinator to Babysitter (we’ll get back to this one) to “The Tax
Lady” to the Golden Girls. A lot of people may have thought it was a group of
ladies going out for breakfast a few times a month but it was more than that.
Sandy loved veterans since her husband had been one. As a group, they got
involved with the Mechling Shakley Veterans Center in Cowansville and did what
they could to help the veterans. The Golden Girls first got into getting items
for Christmas than helping with getting extra food donated to have a huge yard
sale to raise funds to assist in getting their AC unit installed. The Golden
Girls have since continued to get food sent their way.
Now for the babysitter hat. Thru the years Sandy helped many families with a
safe secure place to leave their loved ones. Usually, it was one on one. She
taught them right from wrong, would get them ready for school, and manners. Her
last two were sister & brother. They were the loves of her life. Anybody that
knew Sandy knew Kiera & Brady. Brady was her right-hand man. That bond won’t
ever be forgotten.
Left behind to forever cherish Sandy’s memory are her stepmother, Martha Bish
of Fenelton; sister, Cindy (Mervin) Wadding of New Bethlehem; sister, Patti
(William) Kosicek of Ford City; brother, Raymond (Julie) Bish of
Oregon; brother, Roy (Sherry) Bish of Kittanning; brother, Robert (Sharon)
Bish of Maryland; sister, Chris (Jerry) Campomizzi of
Montana; step-sister, Deborah (Robert) Brown of Colorado;
and stepbrother, Joseph Bowser of Fenelton.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Gary F.
Binder, whom she married on May 15, 1970, and who died on June 9, 2004; and an
infant brother, Ronald, and a step-sister, Terri Bellis.
Family and friends of Sandy Binder will be received on Friday, January 6, 2023,
in the F. Duane Snyder Funeral Home, 119 Bear Street, Worthington, PA 16262 from
12:00pm until the time of services at 3:00pm with Pastor Harriet Hutton
officiating.
The family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Mechling
Shakely Veterans Center in Cowansville in Sandy’s honor.
