Sandy was a driving force in the McQuary household. She loved gardening, owning her own plant business in the early 80s. She loved her flowers and her vegetable gardening. She absolutely adored animals, most recently Trinity, Faith, & Mr. Peabody. She also loved the water, whether it be sitting at a park on Ocean Drive or going fishing or to the beach. Another favorite was her love for decorating, specifically her home.
She is preceded in death by her husband James in 2015 and sister Gay King in 2021.
She is survived by a special niece Chanda and her husband Robert. Nephews Nicholas, Bryson and Caleb Parker.
She was very proud of being a loving Wife, and Aunt.
