Lake Havasu City, Arizona -

Sandra Harris Wanamaker, age 82 will be joining husband Monte
Wanamaker in Heaven, as Monte passed away on December 31st, 2020. She
enjoyed having her son, Jeffery with her in her final days who had
been in Havasu since early December 2020 caring for both parents.

Sandra was an avid artisan and loved to paint and draw from early
childhood. Her dream was to become a licensed architect. She and Monte
were married for 65 years, spending the first 34 years in Southern
California before a move to Lake Havasu City to join Monte's parents
Lloyd and Faye Wanamaker. Who had moved to Lake Havasu City in its
early development years from Southern Cal.

Sandra was very active as a member of the Havasu Ramblers Motor Home
Group serving as its Treasurer, and helping plan the very
active travel itineraries as close as Show Low and as distant as
Niagara Falls, NY. She loved art in all forms and had major
collections adorning the Wanamaker home. An animal lover, she and
Monte always had dogs, and in later years a beloved cat, and cared for
them as family members.

Sandra is survived by two sons, Jeffery of Redondo Beach, CA and Corey
and his wife, Debra also Southern CA residents. And her sister, Pamela
Harris. She was preceded by her parents Hoyt and Christine Harris.

Sandra will be cremated and her ashes scattered with Monte at a place
they chose. Sandra spent lots of pleasurable moments at her kitchen
table always adoring the view of the adjoining golf course. She lived
life to the fullest and entertaining was her pastime.

Her vivacious personality will be missed as will her role as a very
involved mother to her boys. She passed peacefully at home in the
presence of Jeffery.

Private family services to be held at a later date.

Services were placed in the care Bradbury Memorial Center, LHC AZ.
