Like my mom, Linda Lockwood, also a former DM for Avon, I will always remember how happy a person Sandy was. We had a few great conversations while I was still a rep. and living in Norwood. My sincere sympathy is sent to her family and friends. Sandy was a great woman!

To Brenda, Richard, and Richie,

It was my pleasure to be one of Sandy's coworkers, and her friend.

I will always remember how happy she was when I saw her only a few short months ago. She so enjoyed life . . . and was truly thrilled to be able to spend her retirement with all of you . . . as she loved you all more than anything.

When I started in Avon as a DSM back in 1984, she was the epitome of all a "best practices" DSM should and could be - a true inspiration, mentor and realist about all our business offered both good and bad.

One of my fondest memories will always be when we were in Switzerland together on my 1st C of E trip with her, Phyllis, Nancy and Barbara.

She will be missed. I am so sorry for your loss.

To Sandy's Family

I was blessed to know Sandy for the many years we worked together at Avon. She was an inspiration to those who knew her, a businesswoman of integrity, always giving to her Representatives and sister Managers.
I could always count on Sandy for the real story behind any issue or situation in the area. And she always had a solution, never just a problem - a true business partner.
I'll most remember her , though, for her love of family, for her tireless devotion to them during difficult times - she was a special person, loved by all who knew her.
May God bless as she rests in peace.

Dear Richard, Brenda & family, Richie & family,
I am truly sorry to hear of your loss of Sandy this evening. I am sorry I didn't know in time to attend her services, but I want you to know my thoughts and prayers are with you all. We had stayed in touch and we suppose to get together, but when I hadn't heard back from her I was concerned. Sandy was more than an Avon boss and friend to me, as we shared a lot of lifes happenings. Sandy was a person to be emulated by all that knew her. She had great love for her family and she showed it. I was so glad she got to share the trips with you this past year, it meant a lot to her. Sandy will be greatly missed. Michael will be devastated when I tell him, he loved her so. Again, my prayers and love to you all.

To Sandy's Family - I was privilaged to work with Sandy in my beginning years at Avon. She took me under her wing and taught me so much - not only about what it was like to be an Avon manager, but to be giving and caring to everyone. She is missed.

I had the great privilege of having Sandy as a stand in manager during one of her times running a premium district (two districts at once). I met her early in my Avon career and she was always very knowledgeable, motivating and inspiring. She was the type of manager that made you want to go that extra mile. I also know her as a very kind hearted and generous person who touched many lives in a very positive way. She will be missed by all who knew her.

Dear Richard, Brenda and Richie,
I loved Sandy more than I can ever express . She and I had so many amazing, wonderful memories, in Avon and our personal life. They are and will be in my heart forever.
She adored you and your Children more than anything, nothing came before you, in all of in her life.
Sandy was the epidome of an Excellent Avon Manager, and taught me all that I came to know about the job. Because of HER, I became successful.
BUT much more than that, she was like a Sister to me. My love and prayers to you and your family.
Sandy will be missed each day of my life
