Sandy

Shaffer

Sanders Martin "Sandy" Shaffer, 63, of Newcastle, passed away on February 24, 2024.  The son of Donald Webster and Catherine Lee (Martin) Shaffer, Sandy was born on February 16, 1961, in Corpus Christi, Texas.

Sandy met the love of his life Yvonne Suzuki when they were both attending OU and married on December 27, 1982.  Sandy and Yvonne were happily married for 41 years.  They lived for many years in Oklahoma City and Moore area and moved to his dream home in Newcastle about eight years ago.

Sandy loved his job with Innovative Orthopedics Inc. as an implant and instrument coordinator.  He was very social and made friends easily with his easy-going personality and willingness to help anyone in need.  He will be missed by many friends and associates.

Family was very important to Sandy.  He was an only child but quickly adopted all of Yvonne's family as his. He never missed a family celebration. One of  his greatest joys was fishing with his dad. Even as adults, they would often take fishing trips, just the guys. His hobbies included flying model planes, remote control cars, hunting and tinkering with anything motorized.  He could repair anything.

Sandy is preceded in death by his parents and his father-in-law, George Suzuki.

He is survived by his wife of 41 years, Yvonne Shaffer; mother-in-law, Hannelore Korsman of Del City; brother-in-law, Steve Suzuki of Denison, Texas; sister-in-law, Linda Solomon and husband Dewayne of Del City; and three nephews, Jonathan Suzuki, Ben Solomon and Zach Solomon.

In lieu of flowers, the family ask that donations be made to the St. Jude's Children Research Hospital.

A memorial service will be at 10:00 A.M., Saturday, March 2, 2024, at the Eisenhour Funeral Home Chapel in Blanchard, Oklahoma. Arrangements are under the direction of Eisenhour Funeral Home of Blanchard.  Online obituary and guestbook are available at www.eisenhourfh.com.
