Dear loved ones of Sandy, my prayers and thoughts are with you during this time of loss. I recently worked with Sandy at a Marana event. Sandy was enjoyable to work with and full of life. I know she will be missed by many.

My deepest sympathies to all of Sandy’s family. Sandy was my 4-H leader while I was a member of the Marana Stockmen 4-H Club. Later, she helped me get a job at Valley National Bank. She always had a smile on her face and her easy laugh is something I can still hear today in my mind. While I have fallen out of touch I still count here as someone who touched my life in a positive way. While I won’t have the opportunity to renew our friendship I will always count her as one of my best friends and mentors. She’s irreplaceable and I mourn her passing.
