Sandi was a trailblazer in her family, being the first to pursue higher education.

However, her thirst for knowledge and compassion led her to further her education, earning a master’s degree in social work from Malloy College. She went on to become an active alumnus of Malloy College serving on several committees.

Sandi had a profound love for the summer and the beach, finding solace and joy in the beauty of long walks collecting seashells. But above all, her greatest love was reserved for her family. She was a devoted aunt and great aunt, always ready to lend a helping hand or offer words of wisdom. She cared for all of her nieces and nephews, never missing a school play, sporting event, graduation, or ceremony all while maintaining her career.

Her commitment to her faith and community was evident through her involvement in the "Mercy Associate" at Sacred Heart Church. Sandi was extremely active in various church activities, including Meals on Wheels and the Thanksgiving food drive where she selflessly served those in need. She was an active member of the Sacred Heart Bereavement Group bringing her education and faith together in service of others. She often attended faith retreats which helped to deepen her connection and build her compassion to others.

Sandi was bright light with an enthusiasm for life and a passion for exploration. She adored traveling, embracing experiences, and learning about the world around her. She tried never to miss a celebration and an opportunity to be surrounded by friends and family.
