Sandy loved life and made those around her laugh and smile. She faced many fierce challenges throughout her life which molded her into a strong, independent yet kind and gentle person. She enjoyed so many things, the ocean, boating, fishing, new restaurants, her yard, flowers, and birds to name only a few. But most of all she loved spending time with and talking to her family.
Sandy began her career at Zenith in Sioux City, IA and later as a custodian at Dakota Valley Elementary in McCook Lake, SD. After her retirement she eventually moved to Oregon City, OR to be closer to family.
Sandra's life was a living example of the Bible verse, Ephesians 4:32 — "And be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as God also forgave you in Christ."
