Sandy West, who sold Ossabaw Island to save it, dies at age 108

Eleanor “Sandy” Torrey West, once owner and always champion of Ossabaw Island, died Sunday in the early hours of her 108th birthday. Her grandson and a member of the Ossabaw Island Foundation board, Beryl Gilothwest, confirmed her death Sunday as did Elizabeth DuBose, executive director of the Ossabaw Island Foundation.  It is hard to imagine that the death of someone at age 108 is surprising, but we are in shock over the loss of our visionary and friend, DuBose wrote in a prepared statement. Ossabaw Island as we know it exists because of Mrs. West, and Georgia is a better place because of her life’s work.
