Sandra enjoyed singing in Church choirs, and also found great joy in singing Karaoke with friends in her later years.
Sandy was very friendly and made friends pretty much wherever she went. Since moving to Ephraim a little over two years ago, she has made many friends in the community. Sandy loved serving those around her and was known for the hand-crocheted baby blankets she has made for over 100 babies born in her family and ward congregations over the years.
She also found great joy in delivering birthday cards to those around her, especially the women and widowers in her ward. Sandy loved her children and grandchildren and did the best she could to teach them to work hard and have great adventures. She loved attending her children and grandchildrens’ concerts and theatrical productions whenever possible.
