Frances Sue Sandberg, 94, formerly of Winter Park, FL, peacefully passed away Friday, July 23, 2021 in Melbourne, FL. Frances was born in Big Lake, AR and was a graduate of the University of Arkansas. She came to Sanford, FL in the early 1950’s to teach school.

Frances was a long standing member of the Winter Park Presbyterian Church, a participant in the First United Methodist Church of Melbourne, a member of the Winter Park Women’s Club and enjoyed a great game of croquet with the Winter Park Croquet Club.

Frances was a devoted wife for 59 years, a wonderful mother and “mamaw” and will be dearly missed. Her children and grandchildren were the joy of her life and she was famous for saying “I love you a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck.”

She is survived by her sons, Carl Robert “Skip” Sandberg (Debbie), Charles David “Chuck” Sandberg (Kelsie) and daughter, Cindie Bright Calise; grandchildren, Chelsea, Chad, Chase, Cord, Callee, Cameron, Anthony and Melanie; great-grandchildren, Elaina, Everett, Cora and Charlie; and sister, Sophia Anne Davis.
