Sandy was born in Waco, Texas, on January 31, 1950, to Eugene and Virginia Vrba. After Sandy graduated from Reicher Catholic High School in 1968, she entered the workforce and began her 40-plus year career at Texas State Technical College in administration. She remained close friends with many of her high school classmates. Sandy returned to school in 1984, attending McLennan Community College. She earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from Baylor University in the Fall of 1989. She enjoyed many hobbies which included travel, bunco and, of course, her trips to HEB at all hours. She also hosted every Christmas celebration for her family.

Sandy will be remembered fondly as a loving aunt, daughter, sister and friend. She had a gift of making friends wherever she went. She had the biggest and most generous heart. If you ever needed help or support, Sandy was the person to go to and she never asked anything in return.

Sandy was preceded in death by her father, Eugene Vrba; and brothers, Randy and Terry Vrba.

She is survived by her mother, Virginia (Sweetie) Vrba; sister, Debbie Hillin (Robby) of Valley Mills; brother, Gary Vrba (Denise) of Gatesville; sister, Lisa Choate (Dave) of Dallas; and many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews.

Pallbearers will be her nephews.
