Obituary

Edgar M. Sanders, 82, died December 23, 2024, at his Fort Myers home after complications from a fall. He was born July 8, 1942 in Columbus, Ohio, the son of Ralph E. and Dorothea (Manny) Sanders.

Ed graduated from Columbus Aquinas College High School, Class of 1958. Following high school graduation, he served with the U.S. Air Force stateside during the Vietnam War. After the military, he worked for both Lazarus Department Stores and the Columbus and Southern Electric Company. He married Susan Bernard in 1971 and shortly after began work at the Rheem Manufacturing Company as a Sales Manager in the Eastern US and Canada until his retirement in 2008.

Ed was a Freemason and a loyal participant in the Charity Newsies of Columbus. In Fort Myers, he was an American Legion Post #274 member, a Moose Lodge #964 member and joined the Edison-Ford Model A Club as cars were always his number one love after his family and friends.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his son, Patrick E. Sanders. Ed is survived by Susan, his wife of 53 years. He is also survived by his daughter, Kathleen Boyce and her husband, Richard of Orlando, FL and daughter-in-law, Ellen Sanders of Mooresville, NC plus grandchildren, Alexa Sanders, Bailey Sanders, Brendan Boyce and Sophia Boyce.

Ed will be cremated and details as to his Celebration of Life in Fort Myers will follow.

Those who wish to remember Ed in a special way may make gifts in his memory to Charity Newsies, 4300 Indianola Ave, Columbus, OH 43214. This organization has provided school clothing to needy children in Franklin County, Ohio since 1907. In fact, Ed was a recipient during his elementary school years.

    I am so very, very sorry that Ed has passed. I will always remember when he inducted me into the “ Order of Sixty Somethings” and all the laughter we had. My deepest condolences to Susan and Katie and the rest of Ed’s lovely family.

    Ed’s passing is like a mighty Oak falling, but like an Oak tree he spread seeds of kindness and generosity. I’m a better person for having him has a neighbor.
