Sandra Lou Peace-Carey

Her parents, Gene C. and Marylyle (Smith) Peace welcomed their daughter into the world on November 5, 1949 in Indiana, PA. She grew up in Minnetonka, Minnesota and was a 1967 graduate of Minnetonka High School.

A resident of North Swanzey for the past 45 years, Sandra took great joy in caring for her home and working in her floral and vegetable gardens. She was a great cook and canned many of her bounty she harvested from her garden. Sandra found a special place in her heart for her Jack Russell dog, "Mini".

Sandra worked as an associate registrar with Keene State College and later with Antioch University in Keene, spanning 30 years of service to the colleges. She also received a Master’s Degree in Business Management from Antioch University.

Sandra will be greatly missed by many, especially her husband of twenty-five years, Michael "Mike" Carey of North Swanzey; her children, Heather Mucha and her husband, Robert, of Barnstable, MA, Heath Carey and his wife, Tara, of CA; her grandchildren, Quinn Mucha, Kate Mucha, Lexington Carey, Azalea Carey, Indigo Carey; a sister, Mary Crawmer of Hastings, MN; a brother, Gene Peace and his wife, Joanne, of Reddington Beach, FL; and several nieces, nephews and extended family members. Two grandchildren, Violet Carey and Iris Carey, predeceased her.

Services for Sandra will be held privately by the family.
