Obituary: Sandra G. Frye, 72, of Maine

Sandra G. Frye born June 17, 1950 in Baton Rouge, LA to Stanley C. and Elizabeth L. Meyer. She died peacefully at home with family on August 8, 2022 in Lewiston, Maine. Sandra grew up in Whitewater, WI with her siblings until she moved East with her family. She owned and operated The Chapman Inn with Fred Nolte in Bethel, Maine from 1997-2022. Sandra was an amazing woman who had so much love and energy it was hard to contain in a room at times. She was also an honest woman by default and never wanted a handout. She took in lost and hurt souls under her wings and her roof. Sandra was the first one ready to feed you or put clothes on your back even if it left her without a shirt. She had an enormous amount of love for her family and especially her grandchildren and there wasn’t anything she wouldn’t do for them. May her legacy of hard work and love live on in all of us ever blessed to know her. She is preceded in death by her parents, brother, David Meyer; partner, Fred Nolte; Sister-in-law Connie Meyer and Brother-in-law John Kieffer. She is survived by her two daughters, Tracy Frye of Leesburg, VA and Jessica Shropshire of Lewiston, ME, seven grandchildren, Tyler Frye, Charlie Shropshire, Jaylee Shropshire, Alannah Shropshire, Telise Murchison, Willie Wiggins, and Whylie Wiggins, and one great-granddaughter, Elizabeth Frye. Sandra is further survived by brothers Dennis (Mary) Meyer, James (Vickie) Meyer; sisters Linda (Hal) Kieffer, Ellen (James) Streib, Brenda (Fred) Roloff and sister-in-law Chris Meyer. Per her request no service will be held.
