Sandra was a talented seamstress and crafter and used her talents to spread love to her entire family, friends and church community. Sandra supported her boys in scouting and every activity they participated in. She never missed an event in her children's, grandchildren's and even great- grandchildren's lives. She was very proud of her family. Sandra was blessed to be able to share her life with two devoted husbands. Sandra had a very childlike spirit and it showed through her love for children.
