A longtime member of several church circles, community clubs and service organizations, Sandy was celebrated for her gentle spirit, her devotion to family and her quiet strength.
She is survived by her children, Tony (Cheri), Elizabeth (Leslie), Andrea and Mary Borza; her sisters, Donna Stickler and Roberta "Bobbie" (Charlie) Valentine; and her brother Ronald (Romayne) Westlake. She also leaves behind several grandchildren, nieces, nephews and cousins who will carry her memory forward with love.

Sandy and I were classmates at Sherwood Central. We lost contact after graduation, but it's not surprising after all these years to read of her life of service to others, completely in character with the girl I remember. Sincere condolences to her family.
