Sanford. E. “Sandy” Waugh, 78, of Marysville and formerly of West Mansfield, died peacefully surrounded by his family, Thursday, March 22, 2018, at Bluebird Retirement and Assisted Living following an extended illness.
He was a devoted husband and a loving father and grandfather. An avid fisherman, he was quite the mushroom hunter, often hunting them with family or on the occasional trip to Michigan with friends.
Possessing a unique talent to find four-leaf clovers, all anyone had to do was ask and he would deliver. He also enjoyed gardening, playing games and “junk” collecting, especially at garage sales. Some of his favorite items to collect were coins, Pepsi items, arrowheads and sea shells.
He worked in maintenance at O.M. Scotts for 23 years and Harris, Jolliff and Michel Lumber Company for 20 years. A member of the West Mansfield United Methodist Church, he formerly served as a Perry Township Trustee for four years and volunteered as a youth baseball coach.
Born Sept. 10, 1939, in Pliny, West Virginia, he was the son of the late Baylous and Nearie (Milton) Waugh.
On Dec. 16, , at the West Mansfield United Methodist Church, he married his wife of 56 years, Gerry Lynn (Fogle) and she survives in Marysville.
Also surviving are his children, Rick Allen Waugh of West Mansfield, Randall Scott (Chris) Waugh of Lakeview and Regan E. (Shelly) Waugh of Plainfield, Indiana; grandchildren, Olivia L., Heath D. (Brianna), Mekayla R. and Cole A. Waugh, Harli M. (Luke) Williams, Lindsi R., Mallori C., Alec H. and Karlee M. Waugh; a great-grandchild, Avery Waugh; his mother-in-law, Marion (Willis) Anderson; brothers, Garry L. (Judy) Waugh of Springfield and Herbert A. (Jean) Waugh of Clear Lake, Iowa; a sister, Beverly Sue (Aaron) Wright of Prospect, and numerous nieces and nephews.
