Sandra Lee Wells

Sandra Lee Wells, age 87, of Avon, Indiana and formerly of Arcadia, Indiana passed away peacefully September 29, 2022 at Avon Health and Rehabilitation Center.
She was born May 15, 1935 at Arcadia, IN to Wayne and Rena Adeline (Justice) Hodson. Sandra grew up in Arcadia, Indiana and attended Jackson Township Schools, graduating from Jackson Central High School with the Class of 1953. She then volunteered as a nurse's aide at Riverview Hospital in Noblesville, IN.
In 1962 she married Harold James (Jim) Wells and became a military wife while he served his country in the Air Force. That included stations in Great Falls, Montana, Spangdahlem, Germany and later at Wurtsmith Air Force Base in Oscoda, Michigan. She soon became a full time homemaker raising their children. They were divorced in 1984. Sandra continued to live in Michigan for several years as she was very active in the Oscoda United Methodist Church and she and her children had "put down several roots" there. Then in 1998 she returned to Indiana and lived near her family in Arcadia and in Avon.
She enjoyed jigsaw puzzles, crossword puzzles, coloring, and feeding and watching the birds outside her window. Upon living at Avon Health & Rehabilitation Center she enjoyed activities such as bingo, crafts, exercises and socializing with others. Her family would like to thank the nurses and staff for her excellent and compassionate care.
