Sandra Green Obituary

Sandra Jean (Ashton) Green passed away Thursday, March 16, 2017 at St. Anthony Hospice in Lakewood, Colorado after a courageous battle with breast cancer. Born July 30, 1946 to Barbara and Fred Ashton in Butte, Montana. Sandra was 70 years old. She is survived by her two sons, Trent and Brian Green and their two spouses Catherine and Lori Green, respectively. Her three grandchildren, whom she adored beyond belief, Kayla, Morgan and Forrest Green will miss her greatly. Sandra also leaves behind three loving sisters, LaVerne Ivie, Betty Randle and Peggy Dolce, three nephews, Jeremy, Conrad and Cody as well as four nieces, Jessica, Kierstin, Deanna and Hilary. Sandra is proceeded in death by her parents Barb and Freddy. She loved her pets Beefer, Zero and Reggie, whom all have gone onto heaven ahead of her. Sandra loved arts and crafts and over the years produced countless needlepoint, water color and pen and ink decorations that adorn her friends and family's walls in numerous states. One of her favorite loves early in her life was ceramics. The number of ceramic owls in the United States was most certainly doubled as a result of Sandra's ceramic shop in Superior, Montana. Handmade birthday, Christmas cards and such were almost always in the postal system on any given day. Sandy loved her friends and had a variety over time. She loved to travel and spend time visiting with her colleagues. Sandy worked at a variety of jobs but is mostly known for her loyal service to the US Federal government. She worked at the US Postal Service, US Forest Service, Bureau of Reclamation and National Resources Conservation Service. Her fondest memories, however, were when on fire duty with the US Forest Service. She truly loved sleeping in a little tent and battling those pesky forest fires. Sandra was adored by the firefighters and was the life of fire camp. One of Sandy's frequent statements throughout her life but especially in the final couple years was that she was a "Tough Old Broad and could beat this thing". She certainly gave it a fight. Sandy was a Montana girl at heart despite living in the Denver area for the last 12 years. A memorial and celebration of her life will be held later in the year somewhere in Montana where her ashes will be scattered. In lieu of flowers memorial donations may be given to The Human Fund c/o Sandra Green, P.O. Box 352, Fairplay, CO 80440. The family of Sandra J. Green wishes to thank St. Anthony's Hospital and Hospice for their great care and compassion.
