Carol Sander Roat

Carol Sander Roat on November 7, 2020. It is with sadness that I share the news of the passing of my mother-in-law, Carol Sander Roat. She attended Nazareth Academy and worked at Philadelphia Savings Fund Society (PSFS), Philadelphia Carbide in Oreland, PA, and Sander Memorials in Bridesburg. She was proud to be the third generation to carry on her family business. Carol was known for her generosity in the community, serving on the Bridesburg Business Association Board and the Board of the Bridesburg Boys and Girls Club for many years. Carol was a proud member of the 1963 Class of Nazareth Academy. She was a loving mother to my husband, Ryan, and incredibly supportive of me. Her greatest joy was her wonderful grandsons, Franklin and Oscar. Nana delighted in all of their antics and achievements. Carol is predeceased by her parents, August F. Sander and Mildred Sander (nee Keck). Carol was blessed by her sister Joan and brother-in-law, Jay and many beloved cousins, whom she was devoted to. Following in her family tradition, Carol owned and operated the Sander Memorial Company serving Bridesburg and the general Philadelphia Area. She was called "Sandy" by many friends and her Heintz family in-laws. She was someone who celebrated happy occasions with gusto and stood by us all in our darkest hours, as well. This wonderful and loyal woman will be dearly missed by all.
