Sandra J. ‘Sandy’ Morrison

In addition to her parents, Sandy was preceded in death by her loving husbands, William T. Kenawell, who passed in 1985, and Daniel Morrison, who passed in 2016; her loving children, William Kenawell Jr. and Sandra Thomas; and her siblings: Walter Clapper Sr., George Clapper, David Clapper, Russell Clapper, Robert Clapper, Janet Baker and Annabelle Fisher.

Sandy is survived by her loving son, Robert (Billie Coffman) Kenawell of Altoona; a brother, John (Karen) Clapper of Altoona; nine grandchildren: Teddy (Rachel), Chandel, Lacreisia, Kara, Robby Jr., Mindy, Becca, Autumn and Amber; her great-grandchildren: Alyssa, Ryan, Weston and Leviticus; and many nieces and nephews.

Sandy was Christian by faith and a longtime member of Altoona Bible Church.

She was a graduate of Altoona High School, and shortly after, she married the love of her life, William Kenawell Sr.

In her earlier days, she was a hairdresser, as well as co-owner of Mr. Bill’s Stromboli Shop and known as the wife of the famous Mr. Bill’s. She also worked for Wissinger’s Grocery Store and Dry Cleaners, Jubilee, and Sam’s Club after her retirement.

Everyone knew Sandy’s fondness for the color white. It shone through in her home decor and in her signature outfits, especially her white pants, cowboy hat and white cowboy boots. She loved singing karaoke, line dancing, doing the stroll and listening to Merle Haggard. Sandy loved spending time with her longtime childhood friends, Bill Shaw and his late wife, Hazel, especially going to weekend vintage car shows.

If you ever visited her house, you always had to sit down and eat something or play cards (3 to 13 Fireman’s Card Game). Sandy had many other interests including bowling, crossword puzzles and she always had a jigsaw puzzle on her dining room table. She also enjoyed her frequent visits to The Meadows Custard Shop.

Sandy was blessed to find a second love of her life, marrying Daniel P. “Dan” Morrison Sr. Together they enjoyed many trips to Erie, fishing, traveling on cruises and to the beach.

Sandra was loved by many, especially her grandchildren, nieces and nephews who visited her often during her illness; as well as her Graystone neighbors who made their daily visits and calls.
