Sandra Ballenthin Van Erp Obituary
It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Sandra Ballenthin Van Erp of Maplewood, Minnesota, who passed away on January 14, 2026, at the age of 82, leaving to mourn family and friends. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of Sandra Ballenthin Van Erp to pay them a last tribute.
Though Sandra may no longer walk beside us, her memory will forever be enshrined in the fabric of the lives of those Sandra touched, a beacon of light guiding us through the darkness. In her absence, her spirit lives on — a gentle whisper in the breeze, a ray of sunlight on a cloudy day, a reminder that love knows no boundaries.
She is survived by: her daughters, Laura Van Erp (Troy) and Tina Van Erp of St. Paul; and her pet Gigi.
In lieu of flowers, memorials are preferred to St. Andrew's Lutheran Church, Mahtomedi or Caring for Cats, North St. Paul.
