Sandra Louise Alfred
May 18, 1958 - February 11, 2026
“There is nothing more beautiful than someone who goes out of their way to make life beautiful for others” – Mandy Hale
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Sandra Louise Alfred, born May 18th 1958, of London, Ontario. Sandra passed away peacefully and unexpectedly, surrounded by love, on Wednesday February 11th, 2026.
Sandra was a beloved sister, wife, mother, grandmother, and friend to many. Survived by her husband Fred Alfred; children Lisa Alfred and Shannon Alfred; sister Gayle Davidson; brothers John Davidson, James Davidson, and Glen Davidson; grandchildren Haylee, Charlotte, Jack, Maddie, and Felicity; and many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by her parents, Donna Louise and James Douglas Davidson, her daughter Jennifer Alfred, and sister-in-law Susan Dorsman.
A lover of all things gardening, and a treasurer of all keepsakes, Sandra lit up every room she entered, and truly made everyone’s lives more beautiful. She enjoyed spending time at the beach, sharing a cup of tea with loved ones, and above all else, treasured every moment spent with her grandchildren.
To know Sandra was to know unconditional love. She had a quiet way of making people feel safe, seen, and deeply valued. Her home was always open, her kettle was always on, and her heart was always bigger than the moment called for. She celebrated life’s joys with you and carried your burdens as if they were her own. Her presence was a source of comfort, and her absence leaves a space that can never truly be filled.
Sandra shared many lifelong friendships that she cherished immensely. From childhood best friends to the new friends she met along the way, she held each relationship close to her heart, through years of memories, luncheons, and many vacations. She valued history with people, never letting time pass without reaching out, remembering the small details, and ensuring those she loved knew they were always on her mind.
A devoted Canada Post employee, Sandra was known for her kindness, sense of humour, dependability, and the genuine care she showed to everyone she met through her work. She valued the friendships she formed over the years and brought the same warmth to her workplace that she brought to every part of her life.
Sandra will be remembered for her gentle heart, her unwavering love for her family, and her ability to make others feel cared for in even the smallest ways. Whether through a thoughtful gesture, a listening ear, or a lovingly tended garden, she brought comfort and beauty into the lives of those around her.
Her family finds peace in knowing that her love continues to live on in each of them, and that the memories they shared will be cherished forever.
A visitation will be conducted at Westview Funeral Home and Cremation Centre, 709 Wonderland Road North, London, on Wednesday, February 18, 2026 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., as well as on Thursday, February 19, 2026 from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., with a light lunch and celebration to follow. A private family interment will be taking place at a later date.

..Sending out deepest condolences Fred to you and your family
Sandy was such an amazing person. We worked side by side at the London Free Press for so many years. Her smile lit up the room when she walked in it. She was such a pleasure to be around. She was a great friend. We had many great laughs. She will be greatly missed. Gone way too soon.
I had the pleasure of working with Sandy through the RVU at Canada Post. She was a constant source of candor,humour and sarcasm - always a bright part of my day. I’m a better person for having known her and I send my deepest respect and an abundance of love to her family and friends at this time.
We both worked with Sandy at The London Free Press. She was always smiling, upbeat and friendly. A wonderful person gone too soon. Rest peacefully Sandy.
We will miss Sandra's presence in our group of friends who knew each other from elementary school and reconnected several years ago to enjoy getting away together for heartfelt conversations, many laughs and great meals together. Sandra always spoke with love about her children, grandchildren, brothers and sister. I will miss Sandra very much during our future friend group gatherings.
Sandy was always the one laughing at LFP. She talked about her family with so much love. I’m saddened she was taken far too early. I am pleased we re-connected on several occasions the last few years.
Deepest condolences to Sandy's family. Sandy was a great coworker and friend at the London Free Press. RIP
Deepest sympathies to Lisa, Haylee, Fred and family during this sad and difficult time.
Lisa, Haylee, Fred, Shannon and family I am deeply sorry for the loss of your wonderful Mom. I know how much you all love her and how much she loved you. That was always evident in her kind caring way. Sending all my love to you. Sandra, I will miss you my friend. The years of laughter, tears and world problems, solved over hundreds of cups of tea and a few beverages! Many memories were made. You were kind, thoughtful and always had time for everyone. I will miss your sense of humor most. You could always make me smile. We don’t have tomorrow with you but we will always have our memories from yesterday. Thank you for being that friend. Rest in peace girl. ❤️
My sincere condolences to Lisa and Haley and Glenn, John,Gayle and Jimmy. I have some great memories of Sandra. Especially growing up. I remember taking her out in my car, trying to teach her how to drive on the back roads .Sandra was always smiling and. Great friend who will always be remembered. Whenever I came home we tried to get together at least once. R.I.P. my friend. Until we meet again!
