Sandra Elaine Maxson Froebel
OLEAN - Sandra Elaine Maxson Froebel, born in 1939 in Ceres Township, passed away peacefully in Gainesville, Ga., surrounded by loved ones, on April 11, 2023, due to complications from Parkinson's Disease.
Sandy was the second of Ernest and Ferne Maxson's eight children. On June 15, 1963, in Bradford, Pa., at the Bradford Methodist Church, she married her loving husband of 56 years, Albert Eugene "Gene" Froebel, who predeceased her in 2019.
Sandy spent her childhood years on the family farm in Shinglehouse, Pa., where she attended Oswayo Valley Central School. After graduation, Sandy earned her B.S in education from Mansfield University. She continued her education at St. Bonaventure University, obtaining her M.S in reading.
Sandra pursued a career in education teaching in Bradford area schools, Olean public schools and the Cuba-Rushford dchool district. She was highly motivated by helping students who needed extra help. On one occasion she taught herself Mandarin Chinese to help a student with English as a second language.
In the 1980s, Sandy beat breast cancer and went on to council other women facing similar challenges and led a full life.
Raising three boys and having a husband who was a PE teacher and coach, Sandy was a fierce competitor who enjoyed playing cards, golfing, bike riding, walking and, in retirement, became a champion shuffleboard player. Sandy also enjoyed gardening and spending time with her family & friends.
She is survived by her three sons, Brian (Denise) Froebel of Lakeland, Fla., Eric (Melissa) Froebel of Suwanee, Ga. and Curtis (Michelle) Froebel of Alden; as well as 10 grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. She is survived by three siblings, Barb Adams, Grace Titus and Ernest "Lee" Maxson.
She was pre-deceased by four siblings, Erwin "Dan" Maxson, Donald Maxson, Michael Maxson and Ferne Maxson Carroll.
A celebration of life will be held from 5 to 6 p.m. Tuesday (Aug. 1, 2023) at Hillside Wesleyan Church, 753 Prospect Ave., Olean, at which time a memorial service will be held, where the Pastor Dan Todd will officiate. Burial will be in Maple Grove Cemetery in Shinglehouse. All are welcome to attend.
At Sandy's request and in lieu of flowers, we ask that donations be made to The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research (https://www.michaeljfox.org/) in Sandy's name.
