Sandra Baughman

January 11, 1940 - September 7, 2018

Sandra Pearl Baughman “Grandma Sandy” 78 of Richmond, Indiana passed September 7, 2018 at Reid Health surrounded by family. Sandy was born on January 11, 1940 in West Bend, Wisconsin and was the daughter of Lester and Eleanor (Meyer) Barcom. In 1958, Sandy relocated to Richmond following her late brother, Thomas Barcom, as he had recently founded a local chiropractic practice. She worked several different jobs in the area including time at Wernle Children’s Home and Tech Plus. Sandy loved animals and owned many dogs over the years, which led her to learn the art of dog grooming and ran a small business from her home. While most of her dearest and oldest friends have gone before her, Sandy never knew a stranger and therefore was never short on friends. She was a good friend to others as well as fun to be around. She loved get-togethers of all kinds, but mostly spending time with family. You could always find her enjoying her favorite shows on Animal Planet/HGTV, playing cards, doing a crossword puzzle, hearing or telling a good joke, or showing off pictures of her grandchildren. To quote her grandson Matthew, “My grandma has always been an open ear when my sister or I needed to vent as well as someone who was the life of a party. She was never afraid to give her opinion on anything which I always loved about her.“ Sandy is survived by her children Lori Laswell and Robert (Kim) Baughman; sister-in-law Patsy Barcom; grandchildren Whitney Stephens (Ryan Smith), Matt Stephens, Thomas Baughman; great-grandchildren Frankie McCord, Maggie Smith, Jackson Smith; nephews Charles (Teresa) Roberts, Brad (Gonelia) Barcom, Dirk Barcom; great-neices, Courtney Roberts and Cassie Roberts. Sandy was preceded in death by her parents and brother, Thomas Barcom. Friends may call at Riggle-Waltermann on Wednesday September 12th between 4PM – 6PM with a service to follow at 6PM.
