Sandra was a talented and ambitious author, designer, and musician, and a devoted mother, grandma, and disciple of Christ. She always had faith in a bright future for herself, for her family, and for all she served.

Raised in a large military family, Sandra became an avid traveler. She journeyed to places like Tokyo (where she lived for a while as a child), Mexico City (where she participated in a study abroad program), Sao Paulo (where she served her mission), and Vladivostok (where she adopted several Russian children). Through these experiences, she gained a deep love for different cultures and languages and people.

As a mother, she concentrated her time on homeschooling her eight children. Even when divorce changed the trajectory of her life, she held on to her faith and her covenants, and she worked and sacrificed to provide a safe home for her children. She was a servant of God in her home, her callings, and her heart.

We love her and are going to miss her so much.

Planned uses for these funds include direct funeral costs, transport and care costs for the body, any legal fees, and transportation for Sandra's children for the funeral.
