North Haverhill, NH – Sandra (Sandy) Leigh Gardner left her life in peace on Friday July 15 2016.  Her exit was guided by her many wonderful care givers at The Grafton County Nursing Home. Sandy was the daughter of Harold and Sophronia (Betty) Gardner of Piermont NH, where she resided for most of her life. She was a sister to many and a friend to all. Her life was one of compassion and caring. She loved music, laughter and a table well set and filled with the delights of food and drink. She never hurried through life and took the time to learn everyone's name and phone number of which she never forgot.  She loved to travel and recently was able to return to Florida for a winter visit the state where she was born on May 12 1964. Sandy greeted each day with a smile and a full appreciation of what the day would bring. The Gardner Family would like to thank the many caregivers over the years who were kind to Sandy. Calling Hours will be Monday July 25 from 6-8 PM at Ricker Funeral Home, 1 Birch Street, Woodsville, NH. A celebration of her life will be held on Tuesday July 26 at 11 AM at the funeral home. A private burial will be held at the convenience of the family at the South Lawn Cemetery, Piermont, NH. A luncheon reception will follow the service at the home of her beloved sister Heidi Gardner Peyton at Peyton Place Restaurant Main Street, Orford, NH. All are Welcome. Memorial Contributions in Sandy's name may be sent to Upper Valley Pediatrics c/o Dr Mark Harris, 331 Upper Plain, Bradford, VT 05033 to help with medical costs for children in need.
