She spent most of her career as an Emergency Room nurse, and trained to become a Flight Nurse. She always said how she “loved the adrenaline.” She was a Trainer for several years and she faithfully kept her certificates and license current even after retirement.

Sandi was the most non-judgmental, selfless person. She had always placed her families’ needs above her own. Even if it was to drive 4 hours to care for a grandchild for one hour or one day. She was active in her church and had many friends. She volunteered with Meals on Wheels in Pinetop.

Sandi loved the Ocean, Scotland, her dogs, and especially being Grama / GG. She was the “Ultimate Scrabble Player” and could beat even Webster’s Dictionary, She was always chosen as the “winning partner.”
