Sandra Bixler Kancavicus

Sandy was the daughter of the late William E. and Emma (Connelly) Bixler. She is survived by her husband, John (Jake) Kancavicus of sixty years; their three children, John Kancavicus, Jr., Moninne Kancavicus Aleman (David), and Stefanie Lee Haney (Mark); four grandchildren: Danielle Adams Stanfield (Brent), Jake A. Adams (Lindsey), Mica R. Haney, and Thorin H. Haney; and five great-grandchildren: June, Louis, Reuben, Violet, and Theodore. She was preceded in death by her brothers William (Bill) Bixler and Alan Bixler.

Sandy was born in Pennsylvania on March 2, 1941. She graduated from the University of Delaware. Sandy and Jake lived all over the world together, from Brazil to China to Belgium. In addition to traveling, Sandy loved to ski, devoured books, and could figure out how to fix just about anything. She had an unforgettably sweet reading and singing voice. In 1998, the Kancavicuses moved to Grapevine. Sandy was an active member of the Grapevine Garden Club and the Senior Activities Center. She adored being a grandmother and great-grandmother. She loved her home and filled it with treasures from their travels around the world. It made her home feel like a museum to anyone who visited it. Her favorite color was red, so you are invited to wear something red to her services.
