Dendinger, 81, of Greenwich, died April 8, 2023, at the Laurels of New London Nursing Home.  A daughter of the late John Sherwood and Dorothy (nee Tanner) Dendinger, Sandy was born on June 4, 1941, in Norwalk and was a lifelong resident of Huron County.  She graduated from North Fairfield High School with the Class of 1959.

She treasured spending time with her family and her dog Grant. Sandy also enjoyed crossword puzzles and listening to music.
