She was a loyal member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Woodbury, where she made many friends. Sandra showed her unselfishness through her loving, caring personality. Sandrawas a woman who not only cared for her family and friends, but also cared for all animals, especially her dogs, on whom she bestowed human names. She loved to go antiquing, spend as much time as possible in her garden, and she particularly loved anything with a needle and thread, such as quilting and her beautiful cross-stich artwork. She always looked after those she loved. Taking on the role of the matriarch when her mother passed, she was well revered by her family and was often referred to as having a “crass-with-class” attitude.
