Sandra L. (Woods) Redman

Sandra Lee (Woods) Redman, 79, of Wadesville passed away on September 13, 2021, at deaconess hospital. Sandee was born in Springfield, Ohio on March 4, 1942, to Myron and Stella (Rider) Woods. She met and married the love of her life, Capt. Robert L. Redman USN (Ret), on December 9, 1961, in Chula Vista, California.

Sandee lived a very active lifestyle right up to her passing. Sandee was a military wife for 28 years. She was a loving homemaker to 8 children during that time and worked as a cosmetologist when she received her license in 1961. She was an owner of four different salons over the years, still currently operating one out of her home. She was a contestant in the Mrs. California contest, T-Ball coach, soloist, loved animals, sewing, canning, and owned and operated the Green Onion Manor restaurant with her husband out of their home for many years. She started work at Austin’s Funeral Home, currently Denning Family Funeral Home, 20 years ago and was their beautician, door greeter, and one of their go to persons for anything that needed to be done. Sandee’s greatest love and pride was her family. She has been a foster mom since 1964, Foreign Exchange student mom, and “2nd mom” to many people. She was always there to lend a hand or shoulder to cry on for anybody that needed her. Sandee accepted Jesus Christ as her savior at a tent revival in 1950. Ever since being saved Sandee was very active in church, finding a new church home whenever they moved and making sure her family was involved was always a number one priority for her. She was currently attending Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Wadesville, where she was involved in the choir, cooking meals, and anything else she could help out with.

She is survived by her husband, Robert; sons, William, Clifton, Cdr. Jameson Redman USN (Ret) (Heather), and Timothy Redman; daughters, Cassaundra Redman, Robin (Tom) Billington, Rebecca (Tony) Impastato, and Kimberlee Redman; 2nd mom to Tracy (Chris) Courey, Sally Quinn, and Wing (Andrea) Lau; grandchildren, Thomas (Kathlyn) Troy, Chase (Mackenzie), Joshua, Holly, Ellis (Mason), Ryan, Derek, Gavin, Tanner, Alyssa and Matthew. She was preceded in death by her parents and son, Robert Lee Redman II.
