Robert Elwood Sanders, 75, of Morgantown, passed away on Wednesday, January 4, 2023 at home surrounded by his loved ones. Robert was born in Morgantown on September 8, 1947 to the late Chester and Monie Sanders.
In addition to his parents, Robert was preceded in death by his brothers, Kenneth (Patricia) Trippett and William "Bumper" Sanders; sister, Kathryn (Kenny) Robinson; in-laws, Warren "Peck" & Betty Radabaugh; brother-in-law, Otis "Sam" Radabaugh; and sister-in-law, Frances "Sue" (Sonny) Shaffer.
After serving in the Army, stationed in Germany, Robert returned to the United States, where he worked primarily as a carpenter up until retirement. After retirement, he spent his time refinishing antique furniture, as well as shooting pool, working through the daily newspaper crossword and playing the nine holes at Paradise Lake Golf Course. While still able, he loved spending time outdoors fishing, mowing the yard, and riding the four-wheeler around the neighborhood to visit family, all while listening to his favorite Rock and Country music. Robert was a proud member of the American Legion Post 174 and the Masontown Church of the Nazarene, where he enjoyed the company of his closest friends. He loved to have a good time no matter who he was with, and spending quality time with his friends and family brought overwhelming joy into his life.
