Sandra "Sandi" Elizabeth Bailey Lawrence passed away peacefully on Saturday,

February 28, 2026 in Colchester, Vermont. She was born on August 18, 1949 in

Middlebury Vermont to Nelson N. Bailey and Exzelia St. Onge Bailey.

Sandi was a devoted mother, grandmother, friend and Christian whose kindness and

caring spirit touched everyone who knew her. She graduated from Otter Valley High

School in 1967 and then attended Champlain College where she earned her secretarial

degree in 1969. Although she worked in sales and marketing, her greatest joy and most

cherished role was being a homemaker and raising her two sons.

Sandi had a creative spirit and found happiness in decorating, knitting, quilting, and

crafting of all kinds. She also immensely enjoyed watching NASCAR and had a deep

appreciation for history. Above all, she treasured the time she spent with her family and

friends.

Sandi is survived by her two sons, Ryan (Mary Beth) Lawrence of South Hero, VT and

Mark (Vesna) Lawrence of McKinney, TX; five grandchildren Dylan, Stefan, Christian,

Cullen and Gracie May; brother Butch (Monica) Bailey of Bridport, VT and niece Abby;

nephew Kevin (Jenna) Spellman; nieces Vickie Bailey Wahl, Billie Driver, and Misty Bailey. Sandra was preceded in death by her father Nelson N. Bailey and mother Exzelia

St. Onge Bailey, brother William Joseph Bailey and sister Laura Ann Spellman.

A memorial service in Sandra's honor will be held at 3:00 pm on Saturday, May 23rd at

Rock Point Commons in Burlington, VT. There will be a celebration of life following the

service at the same location. The family invites all who knew her to attend and share

their favorite memories.

Sandi will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew and loved her.
