Sandy was born in 1949 in Frankfort, Indiana, daughter of Robert and Mae Shipley, both of whom predeceased her. She graduated from Frankfort High School and received her undergraduate degree in Secondary Education from Ball State University in 1971.

She loved to sing and was a member of different choirs and music groups wherever she and her family worshiped.

She is survived by her loving husband of 51 years, Jim; two sons, Christopher Lee (Lyndsey) and Brian Lee (Caitlyn); and seven grandchildren, Robby, Jack, Matthew, Rebekah, Isaac, Mary-Grace and Andrew.
