Sandy was born in Standardville, UT, December 31, 1940 and lived most of her life in Price, UT. Sandy loved her family and her grandchildren and great-grandchildren brought her much joy; she had a gift for bringing out uncontrollable laughter and joy from them. Sandy was an avid reader, she also loved being outside gardening and took great pride in her yard. Sandy had a soft spot for animals of all sorts.
