Sandy graduated from Belmont High School in 1959. Her friendships from school were mutual and continued her entire life. Sandy was an executive secretary/bookkeeper for several manufacturing companies in Dayton and Compunet Labs in Moraine. Sandra was also a "Work From Home" bookkeeper long before working from home was the norm. She kept the books for many of her friends' businesses, including real estate, restaurants, and small shops. She worked as long as she possibly could and lived her final years in dignity and comfort at the Landings of Huber Heights. For many years she raised her children and supported her family as well as being an active member of her church, Epiphany Lutheran in Centerville, Ohio. She served as a Stephen Minister Caregiver, partnering with Hospice of Dayton to provide comfort for the terminally ill and their families. A celebration of her life will be held on Saturday, November 12, 2022, at 2:00 pm at Epiphany Lutheran Church, 6430 Far Hills Avenue, Centerville, OH 45459, with Pastor Barry Scott officiating.

Sandy's family would like to offer many thanks and much appreciation for the Landings of Huber Heights staff for their remarkable care as well as Day City Hospice who kept her peaceful and comfortable to the end.
