Sandra was born on November 6, 1938, to Robert and Marjorie (Lamb) Hall. She graduated from Westerly High School in Rhode Island and went on to have a distinguished career as a secretary for a U.S. Navy admiral at the Department of Defense in Washington, D.C., until her retirement. On November 29, 1958, she married David Chute in a heartfelt ceremony at the Avondale Church, embarking on a journey that would see them live in various locations, including North Carolina and Florida.
A Life Filled with Love and Passion

Sandra is survived by her two sons, David (Megan) Chute from White Bear Lake, MN, and Christopher (Emily) Chute from Garner, along with several grandchildren and great-grandchildren, as well as extended family and friends. Her legacy will be cherished by all who knew her. Sadly, she is preceded in death by her beloved husband David, her parents, and her two daughters, Darlene Chute and Lori Darrow.
