Sandra C. "Sandra" Konzen died Tuesday, Oct. 10, 2023.

She was born July 31, 1942, in Bellevue, to Harry Elvin (Al) and Annabel Ball Culler. She graduated from Bellevue High in 1960 and from Bowling Green State University in 1964. She held a BS in Education with a double major in math and history.

She was happy to come back to her old high school to teach seventh and eighth grade math. She then taught Jr. High math and geography at Lincolnview North in Van Wert County.

Sandy married Larry H. Konzen on June 18, 1966. They moved to Findlay in Sept., 1967. Their daughter, Karen, was born in 1973 and Sandy was able to be a stay-at-home mom.

Her interest in genealogy began during this time and continued until her death. She loved old cemeteries, even if no family was buried there.

Sandy worked as a tax preparer and instructor for H&R Block and then for Knueven and Schrader.

Sandy and Larry retired to Danbury Twp. in 1995 where she began 20 years of volunteer tax prep and instructing. She was active in Port Clinton Senior Center holding Historian and President positions there.

Sandy and Larry had many rescue animals including two dogs and many special cats. Her interests included Bridge (though her favorite game was euchre), needlework, knitting, and crochet. She donated many of the items she created. She was also an avid reader, especially mysteries.

Sandy was a member of Immaculate Conception Parish, Port Clinton.

Sandy is survived by her husband, Larry; daughter, Karen Konzen; sister, Cindy; brother, Jim; and special friends, Paula, Michelle, and Linda.
