Sandy’s faith in Jesus was most important to her.

She also played for Christmas Eve services and other special events for the church including their senior luncheons. Sandy was a longtime member of the Maranatha Sunday School Class at the church.

Sandy was family-centered and super involved with her family. She enjoyed photography and liked shooting.

Visitation will be held one hour before the funeral on Wednesday at the funeral home. Private burial will follow at Glendale Memorial Gardens in Pekin.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to First Baptist Church, 700 South Capitol Street, Pekin, IL 61554.
