Service Details
Sandi passed away at Kavanagh House on July 22, 2018. I first met Sandi while we were going to school in Madison, WI in the summer of 1969. We married on November 1 of that same year. That started us off on an adventure of nearly 49 years. She presented us with two wonderful children, Matt (Mindy) and Keli (Tom). They, in turn, treated us to five energetic and terrific grandchildren – Gage, Elli, Emma, Hadley and Jack. Sandi cherished family. So, in total, these kids filled her heart with a love that she expressed to them daily.
While our journey together was far too short, I can’t imagine a road better taken. Not only was she the love of my life, she was my best friend. Thank you, Sandi, for being here.
Aside from her husband, Dave, Sandi is survived by her sister, Dixie (Guy); her two brothers, Johnnie and Larry (Joleen); and all of her wonderful kids and grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents, George and Viola, and her brother, Tommy.
Funeral service will be held Saturday, August 4, 2018, at 12:00 noon with visitation prior from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm at Hamilton’s on Westown Parkway, 3601 Westown Parkway, West Des Moines, with a social gathering to follow.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to St. Jude Children's Hospital. Online condolences may be expressed at www.HamiltonsFuneralHome.com.

I met Sandy through my sister Kelly Stokes. I had many of fun evening with Sandy and Dave. There is one thing I know from her passing, there is one less good soul walking this planet. Sandy have some fun til we meet again.

Our daily friendship as neighbors was only three short years, but oh the fun we had. And our friendship, when rekindled, was as much cherished now as it was back then. You were always real and what a true, witty, fun friend you were. Dave, Matt, Keli and grandkids, she lit up whenever she spoke of you, and I mean her eyes sparkled. My condolences to you. We will miss her so.
