Helen Sandra "Sandie" Hugg

Sandie Hugg, 80, of Tallahassee, Florida passed away peacefully and surrounded by family on March 29, 2023. Sandie was born in Dauphin, Manitoba, Canada to William & Margaret (Bishop) Marsh on September 10, 1942. She was the middle of five children. In her early twenties, she took a job with International Minerals & Chemical Corporation and soon transferred to Chicago to achieve her dream of becoming an American Citizen. This is where she met the love of her life, Roger L. Hugg, Sr and they were married on March 11, 1972. They soon relocated to Clearwater, Florida where Sandie obtained her Masters in Healthcare Administration. She went on to become one of the first women Vice Presidents at Morton Plant Mease Hospital. She also served as Executive Director of Westminster Oaks and Chief Program Officer at Advent Christian Village. In her retirement, she continued to serve the elderly by acting as Director of Education for Leading Age Florida. She was recognized for her leadership with many different awards. She volunteered for ten years with the Dunedin City Commission on the Personal Review Board, served as President of the Dunedin Council of Organizations (1991), was an Advent Christian Village Lifetime Member of the Board of Directors, and also served as a Board Member for Partners for Care. Despite all of this, she always said her greatest accomplishment in life was her daughter Ally and grandson Stockton. Sandie is preceded in death by her beloved Roger, parents William & Margaret Marsh, sister Janice Hays (Marsh) and brother Peter Marsh, step son Roger L. Hugg, Jr., and Bodie the dumbest dalmatian to ever live. Sandie is survived by her daughter Jennifer “Ally” Hugg-Fields, her sweet grandson Stockton Bishop Fields who inherited every ounce of her kindness and strength, sister Phyllis Johnson, brother William Marsh, step daughter Karen Husby, the Hugg family, many nieces and nephews, and so many friends.
