Sandra was a woman of great faith in Christ and full of boundless love for her large family. She will be tremendously missed. Her legacy of devotion, faithfulness and service will remain and encourage the hearts of all who knew her. She never missed an opportunity to serve, whether it was doing carpool, darning socks and doing laundry for others, knitting booties for newborns, greeting at church or attending activities of her grandchildren, she loved to serve where she was needed. She is best remembered for her beautiful smile, her favorite color yellow, her love of family, her celebration of freedom in the United States, and most of all, her love for her Heavenly Father.
