Sandy lived a life of many accomplishments. She attended high school at Wyndmere in North Dakota. She then went on to attend nursing school North Dakota State where she earned her LPN.

Working as an LPN was where she met the love of her life and husband of 60 years Charles Dunn who was in the air force at the time in North Dakota.

Upon marrying Charles then moving to Tennessee with her husband Charles and starting her family, Sandy attended nursing school a second time to earn her RN degree at Cleveland State Communite College.

She was a passionate, hard working nurse and she took great pride in her work. She went on to become the director of nursing of Bradley Nursing Home.

Sandy had many accomplishments but the one she was proudest of was her love for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Sandy attended the Viking Lutheran

Church in North Dakota for her youthful years before moving to Tennessee where she was a member of First Lutheran Church for the remainder of her precious life.

Sandy enjoyed reading her Bible, shopping, spending "girl time" with her daughter and granddaughter JoAnn and Summer, cooking, and anything that meant having fun and "living large."

Sandy will be greatly missed. She was loved truly. We rejoice in knowing that her reward for living her life for Jesus has been realized and that we will see her again one day in Heaven!
