Sandra was a graduate of Camden High School in 1964 and lived most of her adulthood in Camden, Isle of Palms, and Mt Pleasant, S.C. She loved playing the piano and organ in her spare time and during Church services at St Andrews Church and Beulah in her earlier years. She was an artist who enjoyed drawing, painting, stained glass, making flower arrangements, and volunteering in acting/producing at the Fine Arts Center of Kershaw County in Camden. She was a member of Hobkirk Garden Club, Historic Camden, a hair stylist for many years with her mother at Kutz and Kurlz, owner of Clean Sweep, and a long time employee of Mulberry Plantation. Most of all, she loved her family and spent most of her final years watching her grandchildren play various sports.
