Sandy was born on June 8, 1946 in Pottsville, Pennsylvania. Her parents were Kenward and Anna Kissinger. Sandy attended the Pottsville public schools, graduating from Pottsville Area High School in 1964. She went on from there to earn a Bachelor's Degree in Education, attending first, Juniata College, then Mansfield University, as well as a Master's Degree at Penn State University. Sandy and Lee met while performing with Pottsville's Third Brigade Band, a community musical organization. They married in 1968. Sandy taught Home Economics in the Pottstown, Pa school district for thirty years. Beyond her profession as a teacher, Sandy specialized in cooking, and in design and sewing in fabrics. All of this led to volunteering in community and church, where she worked with members, producing items of fabric, such as quilts, stuffed animals for children, and hats for cancer patients.
