Sandra McQueen

WESTPORT - Sandra Lee Mauran McQueen entered her eternal home on November 27, 2024 with her loved ones at her side. Born in Mineville, New York on August 22, 1941 to Irving W. and Gladys (DeGroff) Mauran.

She married the love of her life, Donald McQueen Sr. on November 18, 1961 in Westport where they resided for the remainder of their days. Her early career started as an employee at the Elizabethtown Community Hospital and she also provided private duty nursing care for many area individuals.

In 1985 she and her husband purchased the infamous Main Street Diner, renamed McQueen's Food and Fountain, where they became the local welcome wagon. There was never a face that patronized the diner that did not become her friend. Countless memories have been shared with family of her many deeds of selfless giving. In retirement years Sandra returned to private care giving, enhancing the quality of life to those she attended.
