Sandy will be missed by The Robbinsdale/Cooper class of 1965. She organized most of our many class reunions over the years. I am glad to have called her friend and worked on the reunions with her.She was a very friendly and organized lady. She will be remembered fondly by many!

I have known Sandra since grade school as well as connecting with her at many class reunions of which she was actively involved. I am saddened for her passing and trust her family will be comforted with their good memories of the fun times.
