She was preceded in death by her parents.

    Sandra enjoyed being outdoors and especially loved going for walks. She found joy in simple pleasures and treasured time spent with family and friends. One of her favorite places was The Curve Cafe in Mishawaka, where she loved sharing breakfast and conversation with those she cared about. She also had an interest in researching health supplements, reflecting her ongoing curiosity and concern for well-being. An avid animal lover, Sandra cared deeply about the welfare of animals. She especially adored her dog, Chloe, and her cat, Tigger, who brought her comfort and companionship. Her love for animals was just one more reflection of her gentle heart and compassionate nature.
