Sandy is leaving behind a legacy of love, kindness, and deep appreciation for life’s simple joys. She loved tending to her garden. Her vibrant garden was a cherished space that she enjoyed nurturing year after year. With her husband, she enjoyed countless camping trips and vacations throughout the United States. She was very passionate advocate for animal adoption. She believed every animal deserved a loving home and gave her heart generously to that cause. Sandy shared a particularly close bond with her beloved cat Winston, who was her constant companion.

On the weekends, Sandy enjoyed watching NASCAR. She always looked forward to rooting on her favorite driver, Kyle Larson. She followed his career with great enthusiasm and cheered him on from the sidelines. Above all her greatest love was her family. Spending time together whether through everyday moments or special gatherings meant everything to her. Her warmth and loving presence will be deeply missed.
