Sandra Sue Almendarez 68 of Bartlesville, Oklahoma left us peacefully on December 17, 2024 at the Journey Home. She was a beloved mother, grandma and friend to so many. Sandy or "Moose" will always be remembered for her love for her grandkids, her orneriness, and her forever open door.

When she wasn't watching her St. Louis Cardinals or her Oklahoma Sooners on TV she spent most of her time traveling to watch all 5 of her grandkids whether it was softball, baseball, basketball or choir. She also enjoyed going to the casino and her scratch off tickets with Steven.
