As a long-time resident of Berea, Sandy was a “Berea Brave” through and through. Not only was she a graduate of Berea High, but she also worked at Berea High School where she was a staff favorite of the students for over 20 years. Sandy had a love of the Arts; she loved music and dancing, painting, ceramics, going to the theater and even participated in several theater productions herself! Sandy was an active member of the Red Hat Society and volunteered a great deal at her church, First Lutheran Church Strongsville. Sandy was always known as a great hostess, you never walked in her home without being offered a huge smile, a warm hug and a drink! Even at the end, she was always asking people what she could get them!
