She is survived by her children, Kelli Price (Edward) and Champ Frehmel (Madeline); her fur baby, "Bud" and all of her fur grandbabies.
Sandi is preceded in death by her husband, Charles F. "Charlie" Heim; her husband Frank Frehmel; her parents Tony and Millie DiEnna, her sister Antonia "Toni" Huhnken and her many beloved fur babies.
She was tough as nails and the strongest person we've ever known. She was the boss and Queen of the family and a proud Goretti girl (an alumni of the all-girl's Catholic high school in South Philadelphia). She was a registered nurse for many years working in the ICU and ER among other areas of nursing. She was a dedicated nurse who truly cared about her patients. Nursing was definitely her calling.
She loved to travel especially on cruises or by flying to her destinations. She'd been on dozens of cruises around the world and one of her favorite cruises was through the Panama Canal. She also enjoyed the perks of being the parent of a TWA employee for many years which allowed her the chance to fly on TWA, mostly in First Class and she loved that. She also loved Disney and belonged to the Disney Vacation Club for many years.
She also loved music, concerts and NASCAR. She went to many concerts, from country to rock to a Capella. Her most favorite performers were Freddie Mercury, Elvis and Straight No Chaser and her favorite NASCAR driver was the late Dale Earnhardt. She loved going to the different NASCAR tracks and hearing the roar of the crowd when Dale would drive by.
If asked, we believe that she would say her biggest accomplishment was her kids, Kelli and Champ and more than anything she enjoyed spending time with them. She was the best mom in the world, and she is leaving a large void.
A Funeral Mass will be held at 10:00 AM on Saturday, July 1, 2023, at St. Paul Catholic Church. The family will receive visitors following the service.
