Sandy lived a full life and touched many people. She will be dearly missed by her friends and family.
Visitation will be on Saturday, March 11 from 10 a.m. until the memorial service at 11 a.m. at Patuxent Presbyterian Church. Interment will be private.

The memorial was a fitting tribute to an extraordinary life of value and love! "Sandy" knew 'giving' and sharing and leading! The lives she touched have benefited wonderfully from her involvement. She was a treasure and will continue to be so to all who knew her. Rest in Peace!

The service this morning was a beautiful celebration of how much Sandy has enriched the lives of a great many people. The remembrances by her daughters, one of her grandsons, and many, many friends were a testament to the effect she had on people in Arkadaslar, her garden club, the political arena, her Spanish club...... She will be sorely missed. My heartfelt condolences to Charlie, Ashley, Kate, Anderson, and Hunter.

My husband and I are very saddened to hear of the passing of Sandy. She was such a warm and nice lady to our family when we joined Christ Presbyterian Church in Fairfax Virginia. She was always interested in what our kids were doing in school. Such a beautiful lady!Our hearts go out to her daughters and the rest of the family. May her soul rest in perfect peace.
