Sandra Fronabarger

WICKLIFFE, Ky. -- Sandra Kay Fronabarger, 74, of Wickliffe passed away Monday, March 13, 2017, in Arlington, Kentucky, in a fatal auto accident.

She was born Dec. 25, 1942, in rural Chicora, Pennsylvania, to Michael "Mike" and Florence Fair Erdos.

After her high-school graduation, Sandra took correspondence courses with TWA and later was employed by TWA in Kansas City. It was there she met the love of her life, Robert P. "Bob" Fronabarger, originally from Oak Ridge. They were married Feb. 3, 1962, in Oak Ridge. Two children were born to their union. They had been married 52 years when Bob passed away Sept. 8, 2014.

Bob's employment with the Department of Agriculture took the family to Sioux City, Iowa, where Sandra worked at a manufacturing company. Upon purchasing Cairo Grain Inspection Agency in Cairo, Illinois, the family moved to Wickliffe. Sandra still enjoyed working and managing the company.

Sandra was a member of Grace United Methodist Church in LaCenter, Kentucky, and served in various capacities.

She was an avid reader and liked to work in her yard, but above all, she enjoyed spending time with her great-grandbabies.

Loving survivors include two children, Keith (Kelly) Fronabarger of Kevil, Kentucky, and Brandi Fronabarger of Paducah, Kentucky; a granddaughter, Ashton (Matt) Cavanaugh and children, Jessica and Jaxon, of Wickliffe; three siblings, Ken (Wilma) Texter, Rich (Diane) Erdos and Gloria (Jack) Jordan, all of the Butler, Pennsylvania, area; and a brother-in-law, Randy Fronabarger (fiancee, Ruth Moneyhun) of Jackson.

In addition to her husband, she was preceded in death by her parents and a sister, Joyce Erdos.

Visitation will be from 4 to 7 p.m. today at McCombs Funeral Home and Cremation Center in Jackson.

The funeral service will be at 11 a.m. Thursday at the funeral home, with the Rev. Jamie Lee officiating. Interment will be at Old Goshen Cemetery near Oak Ridge.
