Her extended family includes numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and many friends, all of whom will deeply miss her warmth and generosity.
Sandra enjoyed picking and shelling peas and was also known for her love of picking blackberries, sometimes turning her harvest into either a delicious cobbler or freezing them to enjoy later with milk and sugar. She enjoyed cooking for family and friends, ultimately becoming famous for her chicken and dumplings, turkey and dressing, homemade fudge, toffee candy, and her signature fresh apple cake. Sandra also found joy in the challenge and camaraderie of the game of Bridge.
A devoted member of River of Life Church in Trinity, Sandra’s faith and commitment to her community were unwavering.
Her faith, kindness, culinary talents, and loving spirit will always be remembered by those whose lives she touched.
