Sandy Marry receives lifesaving award

At the Delta Township board meeting on November 20, Sandy Marry of Hudson received an award from Fire Chief Victor Hilbert honoring her for her actions in saving the life of Renee Steele of the township. Marry was on her way home from her job at the Delphi plant in Lansing early in the morning of September 23 when she found two pajama-clad boys by the side of the road southwest of Lansing. The seven year old boys, Kyler Williams and Ryshon Steele had woken up in a smoke filled room, and escaped after breaking through the screen. Realizing Steele's mother was still in the house, they went out onto the highway to seek help.

Several cars passed before Marry stopped. She put the boys in the car and called 911, then went to a window to call for Steele, who responded to the sound of her voice and came to the window, where Marry helped her out of the burning building. The Delta Township Fire Department also honored the two boys for their quick thinking and their role in saving Renee Steele's life. Delta Township Fire Chief Hilbert reported that the attending physician in the hospital where Mrs. Steele was taken thought that she could have only survived another two or three minutes in the heavy smoke.
