She was born on June 25, 1942, in Negley, OH, a daughter of the late Charles and Florence Eileen Murphy Minamyer.

Sandy graduated from East Palestine High School and was a member of Zion Lutheran Church in New Waterford.  She was a simple woman who enjoyed the simple life.  She enjoyed cooking, baking and family time.  She was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother who rarely missed the opportunity to watch her children or grandchildren compete in their school sporting events.  Sandy was a fierce competitor herself.  This was made clear while playing “Bouncing Betty” at the “No Reason” family picnics.  She will best be remembered as a woman whose love for her family was immeasurable.

Her husband, Donald Henry Robb, whom she married on January 25, 1964, preceded her in death on, April 28, 2024.

Sandy is survived by two sons, David (Marie) Robb of New Waterford, and Brad (Robin) Robb of East Palestine; daughter in-law, Carol Robb of East Palestine; six grandchildren, Adam (Brittany) Robb, Alex Robb, Avery Robb, Caitlyn Robb, Jaxson Robb, and Tanner Robb; a great grandson, Cameron Robb; three sisters, Christina White of Indiana, Lisa (Rick) Smith of East Palestine and Julie (Rick) Shafer of Florida; brother, Joseph (Tina) Minamyer of Negley, and by a sister-in-law, Brenda Minamyer of Negley.

She was preceded in death by a son, Donald Edward Robb; brother, Robert Minamyer, and a sister, Trisha McDade.
