After retiring, Sandi enjoyed hosting and planning all kinds of events, never straying too far away from home or her family. Sandi was a devoted mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend, always dedicated to those she loved. With an infectious smile and laugh, she lived life on her own terms. She loved being in the kitchen and always prepared the most delicious and abundant meals. Her signature dish was her Birthday cake and a birthday celebration wouldn’t be complete without one. Sandi was also an avid sports fan. Her Minnesota roots and her father’s love for hockey lived on in her. She religiously watched her favorite hockey teams; the Lightening and Wild.
