Fiskdale: Sandra F. (Paine) Clark, 85, of Main Street, passed away peacefully on Saturday, September 28th, surrounded by the care and comfort of her family at the Life Care Center of Auburn, after a long and courageous battle with illness.

She leaves behind a legacy of love and strength in her two sons, James Clark of Connecticut and William Clark of Brookfield; her three daughters, Trudy Mason and her husband Glen of North Carolina, Pamela F. Clark of Worcester, and Sharron M. Harris and her husband Kenny of Rochdale. Her siblings, Arthur Langlais of Connecticut, David Langlais of Southbridge, Trudy Paine of New Hampshire, Lauren Wilgues of Fiskdale, and Joyce Langlais of Southbridge, also mourn her passing.

Sandra's greatest joy came from her family, especially her ten beloved grandchildren: Taylor Foster, Shawn Goddard, William Goddard, Tommie Lee Goddard, Tonia Clark, William Clark, Jr., Ronnie Lang, Daisy Lang, Amanda Clark, and Richard Clark. She was also blessed with numerous great-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews, whose lives she touched with her gentle spirit and warmth.

Preceded in death by her son, Robert Clark, in 2011, and her brother, Robert Paine, Sandra was born in Southbridge, the cherished daughter of Harold and Frances (Charron) Paine. Throughout her life, she displayed a quiet grace and resilience, traits she carried into her roles at the United Lens Company and the American Optical Company, where she worked for many years.

In her younger days, Sandra modeled, capturing the beauty that would reflect throughout her life. A devoted Catholic, her faith was a cornerstone of her life, and she found solace and community at St. Anne/St. Patrick Parish in Sturbridge, where she was a faithful parishioner.

A funeral Mass will be held in celebration of Sandra's life on Monday, October 7th, at 10:00am in St. Anne Church, 16 Church Street, Sturbridge. She will be laid to rest at St. Anne's Cemetery, where her soul will find eternal peace.

In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105.

The Daniel T. Morrill Funeral Home, 130 Hamilton St., Southbridge, is directing arrangements.
