Obituary for Kendall B. Sandborn


Kendall B. Sandborn, age 86, of Portland, passed away peacefully on January 20, 2022. He was born on July 11, 1935 in Orange Township to Riley and Anis (Benschoter) Sandborn. Kendall was a lifelong farmer and he enjoyed raising sheep. He liked auto racing and ice cream, but his favorite thing to do was spend time with his family.
