June 6, 1947 - January 4, 2025
Sandra Ann Bell, age 77, of Gregory, Michigan, passed away peacefully on January 4, 2025, at Trinity Health Ann Arbor Hospital. Born on June 6, 1947, to John and Ann (Shay) Cashin, Sandy spent most of her life as a cherished member of the Livingston County community.
For 38 years, Sandy was a dedicated employee at DAPCO Industries in Dexter. She was well-known for her vibrant social nature and could often be found sharing stories and laughter with friends at the Gregory Pub. She delighted in trying her luck at the casino, particularly during holiday seasons.
Above all else, Sandy's greatest joy came from time spent with her beloved family. She was a loving and devoted mother to Ann Tillman of Pinckney, David (Isabel) Cashin of Stockbridge, and Matt (Julia) Bell of Pinckney. Her role as grandmother brought her immense pride and happiness, as she cherished her four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
Sandra is survived by her loving siblings: John Cashin of Brooklyn, Barb Yoakum of Oregon, Deborah Adair, and Sharon Carpenter of Gregory. She was preceded in death by her two husbands, William Van Blaircum and Clair H. Bell, her brother Rick Cashin, her sister Marianne Douglas, and her beloved nephew Jeffrey.
