July 14, 1945 — May 3, 2012
Sandra L. Beede, age 66, formerly of Saranac Lake and currently of Creek Road, Champlain, NY passed away peacefully in her sleep at home on Thursday, May 03, 2012.
Born in Saranac Lake, New York on July 14, 1945, she was the daughter of Thomas and Gertrude (Vosburgh) Daphnis.
Sandra had a long and distinguished work history, starting as a Nurses Aide at Saranac Lake General Hospital and ending her career with them as an LPN.

She finished her working career as a computer programmer for the Grand Union Corporation and retired in 2001.
Sandra enjoyed arts and crafts, always making wonderful sweaters, shawls, hats and mittens for her family members and close friends. Her passion after retirement was her home, and reveled in remodeling, decorating, and landscaping.
