Sandra was born in South Ogden to Donald Edward Heninger and Lucille Pack. She lived most of her life there in South Ogden, until the last 5 years when she moved to North Ogden. She graduated from Bonneville High School, and then attended Weber State College. Sandra and Leon Pierce grew up together playing with the neighborhood children, even getting along with the adults.
October 16, 1970, she married Leon R. Pierce in Logan, UT. Daughter, Jennifer E. Pierce brought more love to the couple.
Throughout her husband's military career, Sandra supported him 100%, nothing was too much for her. She loved to cook, bake cookies, casseroles, entertaining relatives, and scrapbooking. She took impeccable care of the family finances. Leon and Sandra also loved traveling throughout the country in their 'motorhome'.
She was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Her callings were a joy in her life, Visiting Teacher Supervisor and Primary Teacher. She loved the special calling assigned to her and Leon as Visiting Teaching/Home Teaching at two local assisted living centers.
Sandra is survived by her husband, Leon; daughter, Jenny; brother, Randy (Shawna) Heninger; sisters-in-law, Diane (Lee) Taylor and Janice Pierce; and several nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents; brothers, Alan Heninger; and brother-in-law, Kenny.
