She was a longtime member of Dendarah Court No.10, Ladies’ Oriental Shrine of North America in Toledo where she was the Dendarah Chorus Directress (30 years) and Grand Chorus Directress for many years. She truly enjoyed the friendship and camaraderie from the ladies in the group and the love she had for singing and making memories.
Above everything, Sandy was a doting grandma to three precious grandchildren. They were her everything and she looked forward to all of their school and sporting events, she was their #1 fan! She will be remembered as a loving and supportive mom, grandma and friend to many.
