Obituary for
Sandra Kay "Sandi" Osgood
https://www.leavittfuneralhome.com/obituaries/Sandra-Kay-Sandi-Osgood?obId=44318368
Accessed Mar 25, 2026 |
 |
Sandra
Kay "Sandi" Osgood, 80, of Rockport, WV, was born on
March 1,1945 at Hur, WV to the late Reverends
Charles and Ruby Wilkinson and graduated to Glory on
August 20,2025.
She was a 1963 graduate of Parkersburg High School
and received her B.A. degree from Asbury University
in Wilmore, KY. She took as many art classes as
possible at each of those schools.
She married the Rev. Ted Osgood on September
10,1966. Their ministry as a couple began in the
Northwest Indiana Conference of the Methodist
Church. After eight years in Indiana they served as
missionaries at the Navajo Methodist Mission in
Farmington, NM where she started a student choir and
substituted as an art teacher and dorm mother.
In 1976 she and her husband moved back to her
beloved home state of West Virginia. |
She was always a true helpmate,
doing chalk illustrations as her husband preached, singing,
playing the organ or piano when needed, served as youth
leader at First United Methodist Church in Welch, served as
choir director at Duffey Memorial Church in Moorefield, and
organized the Limestone Lamplighter’s at Limestone United
Methodist Church, now Limestone Gospel Fellowship.
Through the years, following college graduation, Sandi has
been active as an artist winning over 100 awards in art
shows in both oils and graphics. She won an international
award for a miniature painting. She has taught art classes
(mostly oil painting and water color) in Mercer, McDowell,
and Hardy Counties. One year two of her students won first
and second place in the Hardy County fair. When someone
bragged on her for such good teaching she answered with her
quick wit, “I’m just glad I didn’t enter, I might have lost
to my students.” Her personal relationship with Christ often
led to students asking her questions about faith or asking
for prayer, and in several instances led, eventually, to a
student receiving Christ as their personal savior.
Until her recent illness prevented it, Sandi served as one
of the pianists at Limestone Gospel Fellowship, where she
was a member. When asked to sing in a service you could
almost always be assured of hearing one of the hymns or
gospel songs about the blood of Christ, often sung with
tears of joy for the great love and mercy of Christ. Her
favorite hymn was “Amazing Grace”.
Other than art and music, Sandi enjoyed hiking, eating out,
doing crossword puzzles, Bible study, and just being with
family and friends. Her quick wit and friendly joking often
won her friends and defused some potential arguments. Even
with the talents and awards her greatest joy was salvation
by grace through faith and that both of her children and
both of her grandsons have come to a saving relationship
with Christ, and know the joy of sins covered by the blood
of Christ on the cross.
In addition to her parents Sandra was preceded in death by
her sister Bonnie (Knapp) Lyons. Left to cherish her memory
are her husband of nearly 59 years, Rev. Ted Osgood, her
son, Eric Osgood, her daughter, Dana (Kevin) Ashbaugh,
grandsons Tim Ashbaugh and Donevin Ashbaugh, and her two pet
cats, Annie and Tiny.
In lieu of flowers Sandi requested donations to The Gideons
or House Calls Hospice who gave her such loving care in her
final weeks.
A service to celebrate her home going and victory over
cancer, death and the grave will be held at Saturday 4 PM at
Leavitt Funeral Home, Parkersburg with Reverends Rick
DeQuasie and Phil Dent officiating. Visitation will be
Friday 6-8 PM. |
