She loved taking long walks and traveling with her sister, Dianna. Sandra spoiled family pets and never missed her regular Saturday morning breakfast with her good friends in Nipawin. Sandra was predeceased by her father, Wilfred in 2006. She will be dearly missed and lovingly remembered by her mother, Leah; her sister, Dianna; her brother, Wayne (Chantal and Stephanie), many cousins and friends.
