Sandy was known for her beautiful smile, kind heart and spunky personality. She was an amazing cook and always lit up any room she walked into. She loved to dance and was an avid golfer. She also enjoyed the beach, bike riding, hiking, and girl’s trips with her high school “gals”. Some of her favorite days were spent with her sisters and bringing her kids together for special family vacations. She fully supported her children and they often found it hard to keep up with her youth energy. She was deeply loved by her grandchildren and was always willing to join them on adventures. She will be deeply missed by all who loved her.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
