Sandy was a cardiovascular sonographer at Northwest Health-La Porte hospital.

She was a member of Queen of All Saints Church. Cherished most by Sandy was her time spent with her family, work family, Ball State besties and friends. When not working, her time was spent doing what she loved most, traveling, going to the beach looking for beach glass, crinoids and other treasures, and gardening both flowers and produce. She loved her cats, Kevin the peacock, and visiting baby calves born on her uncles farm. Her passion was her family and was proud to be a wife, mother, grandmother, and friend to all. Her life brought wisdom, humor, love, and compassion to everyone she encountered. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.

Memorials may be made in Sandy's name to honor her fight and strong will to the American Cancer Society.
