Sandra Hodge

Sandra M. Hodge, 71, passed away peacefully at home on July 15, after a lengthy illness as a result of shingles starting in 2003 and more recently being diagnosed with dementia in 2015.

Per her wishes, cremation rites have been accorded.  Private graveside services for Sandra will be held at the Massillon Township Cemetery in Massillon, Iowa. Chambers Funeral Home in Eldridge assisted the family with arrangements.

Sandra was born November 10, 1944 in Cleveland, Ohio to John and Margaret Foley.  She was a 1963 graduate of Wheatland Community High School.  Sandra went on to start and operate one of the first female owned barbershops in the Quad Cities.  Under a different owner, one of her first employees, the barbershop is still in operation today.  Sandra enjoyed buying and selling antiques, especially during, not one but three tours of duty with her husband in Germany.  She traveled extensively throughout Europe and the United States.

Surviving members of the family include her husband, Warren Hodge of Eldridge; two step-children, Jennifer Day of Port Clinton, Ohio and Warren Paul Hodge of Guntersville, AL; two grandchildren, Sara and Jacob, two great grandchildren, Adam and Leia; her sister Mari Reiling and three nieces, Kelli Overtuff, Ami and Sindy Reiling.

The family wishes to express a special note of thanks to the entire staff at the Beacon of Hope Hospice House for their support during the last six months.
