Sandy Korzendorfer Stohrer, 77, passed away unexpectedly, but peacefully, Friday, May 29, 2020, at her Williamsburg home.
She was born Feb. 1, 1943, to the late Roy and Nina Korzendorfer. Sandy graduated from Washington and Lee High School in 1961 and attended Elon University in North Carolina. She had a long, rewarding career as a dedicated civil servant.
In spring 1993, she married her beloved husband, the late George Stohrer. They were made for each other, and after moving together to Warrenton, they traveled the world, from China’s Great Wall to the Swiss Alps. They pursued many shared hobbies together, building a beautiful collection of antique furniture, art, toys and learning to perform intricate repairs on antique furniture and artifacts. Sandy and George also unrepentantly spoiled their two cats, the late Merle and Myo.
Sandy is survived by two children, Kristen Yost of Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, and Michael Powell of Charlottesville, and son-in-law and daughter-in-law, Michael Yost and Alison Powell; two grandchildren, Kelsey and Connor Powell; and her beloved cat, Masha, who will be welcomed as the newest feline member of the Powell household.
In lieu of flowers, her family respectfully and gratefully requests that donations be made to the Fauquier County SPCA.
To keep all of Sandy’s family and friends safe and healthy, a memorial celebration will be held online at 11 a.m., Saturday, June 6.
Share online condolences with the family at Bucktrout of Williamsburg Funeral Service.
