Sandra was born in Clinton to the late Carlton & Juanita (Kilday) Kennedy. She graduated from the Clinton High School, Class of 1952 as the lead drum major in the CHS marching band. With a great passion for dance, she pursued her career as an instructor and later established, successfully owned and operated the Sandra Kennedy School of Dance in Clinton. While raising her family, she returned to instructing, leading the band and majorette program at Tahanto Regional High School for many years. With a great desire for helping others, Sandra also worked as a coordinator for WHEAT Community Services in Clinton and donated countless hours to the Girl Scouts and her church. Sandy taught and led by example. If there was a need she was always ready and willing to help; all while instilling that commitment in her children and friends. She was a bright light that will forever burn on in those she touched and loved. She was a woman of great faith, devout member and long-time sacristan for St. Joseph the Good Provider Parish in Berlin. Above all, Sandra was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. Her grandchildren were her heart and joy. Spending time at "Gram's" was a given and always special; with a steady supply of ice cream, hugs and laughter. She treasured her children and grands, embracing every moment with them. Please join us as we celebrate her remarkable and wonderful life. One of her favorite quotes was the opening line from a John Keats poem, "A thing of beauty is a joy forever." She will always remain in our hearts.
