October 30, 1941- December 6, 2018
Our beloved Nana will be sadly missed by daughter Aileen, her husband
Kevin Buis, and grandsons Samuel and Henry. She is predeceased by her
husband Geoffrey (2004), her parents Young Jim Larkin and Josephine, her
brother Peter, and her sisters Betty and Hilda. She will be lovingly
remembered by her family members in Ireland and by her extended family,
the Buis.
Sandra was born in Dublin, and came to Canada in 1967 where she met her
husband. They lived in Sudbury for 35 years. During her years there,
Sandra worked as a lab technologist in the Blood Bank at Sudbury Memorial
Hospital and built many lasting friendships. Sandra moved to Guelph in
2006 to be with her daughter and family. She enjoyed many happy gatherings
with the Newcomers club, Book club, Potluck club, Bridge club, and the
Hunt club. She cherished her dogs Hailey and Spencer. She loved to watch
tennis and curling on the TV, gardening, birdwatching, and reading. She
will be fondly remembered for making excellent Christmas cookies, her
Nana blankets, and devotion to her grandsons.
Friends will be received at Gilbert MacIntyre and Son Funeral Home, Hart
Chapel, 1099 Gordon St, Guelph, on Tuesday, December 11, 2018 from 7-9pm.

May the winds of love blow softly
