I worked with Sandra at Lutheran,work might be the wrong word,laughing,joking and having fun would better describe a shift with this amazing lady! I can't eat green pepper strips without thinking of her.Prayers to her family that she treasured so very much.Heaven became a "funner" place when Sandra joined the angels. Rest in peace sweet friend.

Sandra was a North High classmate. I remember her kind, friendly manner. She will leave a gap that cannot be filled in our close knit graduating class. Peace be with her family at this time.

Sandra was a most endearing lady who always welcomed conversation and made us laugh. My earliest memories were of admiring my "older" cousin when she was a teenager and so wise and worldly, but always gave loving affection and time for my sister and me. She was also a best friend and supporter for my brother who always had a special place in his heart for her and Marlyn. Marlyn and Sandra were a great team and we are deeply saddened by her passing.Karen and Chuck Northrop
