Sandy's strong work ethic brought her fulfillment in her career as office manager for varying companies. She enjoyed volunteering in her children's schools and her church groups. She also dedicated her time as a 4-H leader and loved to travel. Of all the titles she held, “Grandma” was the one that brought her the most happiness and laughter. Sandy is fondly remembered and will be greatly missed.
