Sandra "Sandy" M. Percy

Sandra “Sandy” Mae Percy (nee Luhn), 81, of Fond du Lac, passed away peacefully on April 28, 2025, at home surrounded by her beloved family after a prolonged battle with lung disease. Sandy was born January 15, 1944, in Fond du Lac, WI, to parents Lonell Walter Luhn and Elvera Marie Luhn (nee Meisel). Initially, she and her older sister Bonnie had the sole attention of their parents but then came the rest of the gang - Roxie, Mary, Debbie and finally the twins Dave and Don. In her earlier years, Sandy loved dancing to the bands at the Youth Center and meeting up with friends for ice cream sundaes. Sandy helped care for her siblings, loved spending time with her Grandma, and enjoyed summers with family at the lake. She loved to learn despite the challenges of finding a quiet moment in a full home. She was a graduate of LP Goodrich High School, Class of 1962. She married Gary Clark Percy, at the Church of Peace, in Fond du Lac, on January 26, 1963. Their neighborhood friendship turned romantic with an abundance of life memories to follow. They had three children Joe, Deb, and Sue. The family took many camping trips to DelAire, in Adams County, where they would fish, swim, boat, and enjoy campfires. They enjoyed 62 years of marriage. Sandy worked hard at all things, stood up for others, and was someone you could depend on; generational values learned and passed down to her children. She supported her family through a number of retail positions though her greatest joy was being Mom and Grandma. She was kind and compassionate, always a patient listener, and an abundant giver of hugs and “Love Yous”. Her work ethic and selflessness were evident in all she did. Sandy met friends at the Senior Center to play cards, was a lifelong learner, was an avid reader, knitter, gardener and the family historian. She enjoyed springtime (especially May), peaceful mornings listening to the birds, and blooming flowers. She held a special place in her heart for Elsie, her cat. Above all these things, Sandy’s greatest joy came from time spent with her family, creating cherished memories. Those left behind are her husband Gary C Percy; three children Joseph E (JoAnn H) Percy, Debra L Percy, Susan K Percy (TJ); her grandchildren Shayne and Tanya (Kevin); her siblings Bonnie (Rod) Percy, Roxie (Chuck) Birschbach, Mary (Darv) Soles, Debrah (Steve) Klapperich, Donald Luhn, many nephews, nieces, and other relatives and friends. She is preceded in death by her brother David J Luhn, her parents Lonell and Elvera Luhn and many dear relatives and friends. Sandy was deeply loved, and the family is comforted to know she has been reunited with her loved ones. A private ceremony will be held at Avoca Cemetery, in Oakfield, WI. Special thanks to the Hospice Care Team for their amazing care and love for Sandy. Memorials are appreciated to the American Lung Association, a specific request made by Sandy to help others with pulmonary illnesses.
