FREDERICKTOWN – Our beautiful wife, mother and grandmother, Andrea “Sandy,” went to be with Jesus on Tuesday, Jan. 5, 2021. After years of battling pulmonary hypertension, she expressed that she wanted to be “whole, healthy and healed”; and now she has found that in the arms of her Savior.
Sandy was born on Jan. 31, 1947, in Mount Vernon, to her parents Ralph and Marguerite (Lober) Frazier. On Dec. 18, 1966, she married the love of her life, Alan “Al” McQuigg, and celebrated 54 years of marriage together this past December. Sandy’s pride and joy was raising her three precious children: her two daughters, Christina (Chad) Sanders and Stacy (Scott) Savage, and her son, Micah (Lina) McQuigg.
Sandy’s greatest joy was to live out her faith in Jesus Christ. She was an active member of the Christian Women’s Club of Mount Vernon in the late '70s. She traveled around the state speaking on behalf of the Christians Women’s Club. She also started and served as the head of the Fredericktown branch of Interchurch for 10 years (1988-98). In all things, her heart was to spread encouragement and the love of Christ.
Al and Sandy were founding members of Covenant Church. Even in her later years, though she was suffering herself, she would continually reach out to others to encourage them through Facebook and text.
Sandy loved her family more than life itself. Her favorite thing to do was to spend time with her husband, children and grandchildren — going shopping, taking vacations and gathering together over the holidays. She made all of her children’s wedding cakes by scratch, and they were delicious!
Sandy’s life was marked by prayer and faith. She was an example of a woman of prayer, believing in full and total healing until she received it in heaven. She had a fierce vitality and was full of life; with a quick, witty mind until the moment we said goodbye.
She is survived by her husband; her children; her 10 grandchildren (one through marriage), Brevin, Tate, Baylor and Boston Savage, Alex and Nate Bennett, Jake, Sadie and Tred Sanders, and Amari McQuigg; and her brothers, Michael Frazier and Gordon Frazier.
Sandy was preceded in death by her parents; nephews, Levi Frazier and Geoffrey McQuigg; Aunt Berta Sproat; and brother-in-law, Stephen McQuigg.
Calling hours and a celebration of life service will take place on Monday, Jan. 11, at Covenant Church in Mount Vernon, 13360 New Delaware Road, Mount Vernon, OH 43050. The calling hours will be from 1-3 p.m. and Sandy’s celebration of life service will begin at 3 p.m., with Pastor Tim Overly officiating. Masks are required and social distancing will be observed. A livestream of the service will be available on the Mount Vernon Covenant Church’s Facebook page at m.facebook.com/covenantchurchmtv.
Donations can be made to Covenant Church.
