In memory of those who have Crossed the Bar
BOLES, Sandra (Sandy) - With great sorrow we share the passing of Sandra (Sandy) Boles, who passed away in her home on March 7, 2025. She is survived by her sister Heather Wildeboer (Albert), nephew Jeff Wildeboer (Kim), great- nephews Zachary and Alex, niece Dawn Gelech (Shawn), great nephews Nicholas and William. She is predeceased by her father William Harold Boles, mother Margaret, and siblings Barbara and Richard.
Sandra proudly served in the Royal Canadian Navy where she made life long friends, and had many wonderful adventures. She was stationed here in Canada as well as in Germany. She was well loved and respected by all who knew her.
In her retirement she continued to cultivate friendships by working with seniors (something that she expressly loved). And by “playing cards with the ladies”. She was generous with her time and her spirit, and lived her life to the absolute fullest.
Sandra had a life long passion for sports. She started at a young age in Deloraine, Manitoba and excelled in all sports. Her accomplishments resulted in her representing her Base at the time in the Canadian National Championships in both women’s fastball and curling.
The family would like to thank Louise Chaif for all that she has done for Sandy, and to all of the people who have called to offer condolences.
A graveside service will be held at The National Military Cemetery, located at Beechwood Cemetery, 280 Beechwood Avenue, Ottawa, on Friday, March 21 at 1 p.m. Those wishing to attend should arrive by 12:45 p.m. at the main entrance of the Beechwood National Memorial Centre to join the procession.
