Sandy was a jewel, always fun and bubbly. I know for a fact she loved her family Shawn , Sara, Terry and her parents. She talked about them daily. She will be missed by so many people. I knew her from working as a dental assistant in a couple offices we got to work at together. She was an amazing dental assistant, it has been an honor to work with , get to know and be friends with. Rest in peace dear friend.
I have more memories with Sandy than I can count since we met in middle school. She had the most contagious smile and I will forever cherish the many good times we had together in school and beyond. Sending prayers to Terry, Sean and all of Sandy’s family and friends.
Sandy and I became instant friends when we began working together. I loved our lake days, solar eclipse, festivals, conventions and much laughter! Terry, Shawn and Sarah, words cannot express the sorrow I feel for you. I feel it. She will always be a part of my heart! I will never forget that bubbly personality and beautiful smile! Sing with Angels, Beautiful!
You will be missed, Love You.
I can't believe you are gone...Your smile could light up an entire room. I loved our talks. I will miss you.
I first met Sandy at Aspen Dental doing my dentures. She was a sweetheart with smile on her always I enjoyed talking to her at Starbucks and gettting her grapes. Going to miss you sweet lady. My prayers for the family
So sorry for your loss Sandy was a wonderful person
Sandy was very special to me. I work at Ingles, in the Starbucks kiosk. I started working there in January of 2021. She came in before work every day, so I saw and spoke with her EVERY day that I worked. She will truly be missed. Sending my condolences for your loss.
