Sandra M

Agen

It is with shattered hearts that we announce that on October 18, 2026, Sandra M. Agen, took her last peaceful breath on this earth. She had been surrounded by her children, grandchildren, and daughters-in-love.

At 83 years old, and about to celebrate her 84th birthday, she was the spunky, sassafras, hot shit lady that greeted everyone with the biggest smile, twinkle in her eyes and the most incredible sense of humor. She was a helper, kind, generous, and warmhearted. Sandy, as she was called, stayed home to raise her children and once they were on their own, she drove a bus to take the elderly to go shopping or do errands and later for the McIntosh College kids. She loved life, but most of all she was content gathering with her family, reminiscing, talking and most of all laughing until everyone's stomach hurt. Her humor was unmatched and the zingers that would come out of her mouth, could totally catch you off guard.

Sandy was a good friend to many not just at Keefe House where she lived, but also from her original homes in Buffalo, NY and Nottingham, NH. She was the most extraordinary Nana to her 2 grandsons, and a caring and considerate aunt and great aunt to her nieces, nephews, and their children.

She is survived by her children Stacy (John), Christopher (Jennifer) and Rebecca (Michael); her 2 grandsons that her whole world revolved around, Andrew and Ryan, as well as her granddaughters in love, Andrew's fiancé Ashley and her sister Jade. Also, by brother, Edward DuPont (Shelley) and sister Gerry Ellen Alexander (Robert).

She was preceded in death by her sister Kathleen Drilling, her brother-in-law Terry Drilling, and father to her children who was still a good friend, Gerald Agen.

This stubborn, brave and courageous woman fought tooth and nail to hold on and keep living to see her family grow old with her, but her heart had another plan. There is a very large hole in our hearts that she filled, and she will be profoundly missed by all who knew her.

As Sandy requested, there will be a Celebration (party in her words) of Life for friends and family held for her on her birthday, Friday, November 6, 2026 at The Shanty Family Tavern, 115 Mirona Rd., Portsmouth, NH, function room from 2-8PM. 

Assisting with arrangements is the Cremation Society of New Hampshire, Hampton. To view Sandra's online tribute, send condolences to the family, or for more information, visit www.csnh.com.
