Sandy loved spending time with her family and friends.

Sandy had a strong faith in the Lord and was an active member of Agape Christian Fellowship. She enjoyed her time with her Women's Bible Study, Children's Ministry and other outreach programs. She enjoyed reading, crafts and baking.  She had a great love for her cats over the years; especially her Josh.
