Sandra Lynne Workman, loved her family, animals

Sandra Lynne Workman, 75, passed away Saturday, April 18, 2026, in Lewes. Sandy was a loving daughter, friend, wife, mother, grandmother and animal lover. Sandy lived many places growing up and made great lifelong friends at Metuchen High School. She met husband David while living in Pittsburgh. They were married at the Presbyterian Church in Haddonfield, N.J., Sept. 2, 1972. Sandy spent most of her life raising her family in Chesterfield, N.J. They retired to Lewes in 2022.

Sandy was a horse show mom despite the early wake-up times, crafted quilts, and always had many projects – always seeing the promise and beauty in something restored. She made the world's best spaghetti, lasagna, chili, peanut butter sandwiches and pound cake. Sandy cared for beautiful flower gardens and was the maker of Christmas magic. She was always available for a long phone conversation with her daughters or friends, or a board game challenge with her grandsons. Her home was always open for friends and family to drop by, and she cared for many, many pets over the years, including numerous cats, dogs, horses, donkeys, rabbits, guinea pigs and a very old frog. She is missed tremendously.

She is survived by her husband of 53 years, David Workman; her daughter, Jill Kennedy and her husband Ryan Kennedy; her grandson, Graham Kennedy; her daughter, Jenny Colgate and husband Scott Colgate; and her grandsons, Reed and Ben Colgate. She is also survived by her beloved critters, Rhett, Paddy, Leo, Louise and Alibi. She was predeceased in death by her parents, Richard and Mona Morken.

Sandy loved the saying “It takes a long time to make an old friend,” and she was one to many.
