Sandra was an active member of the First United Methodist Church and later the Springville Community Church. She was a member of the Michiana Lions Club and adored giving out dictionaries to the grade school students. She loved to sew, read and do crafts. She loved to travel and had many adventures driving all over the United States with her family. Later she enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren at ranches out west riding horses. Sandra had a special love for her collies, Reggie and Ralphie, who were her faithful companions after her husband's passing.

Wonderful experiences and memories will live forever in the hearts of those she loved and who loved her.
