After graduating from New Iberia High School, Sandi moved to New Orleans, Louisiana, where she began her career as an x-ray technician at Touro Infirmary.

The couple then welcomed their daughter, Wendy Edwards. Before retiring from Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center, Sandi was elevated to the role of a dosimetrist. She and Danny attended St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
