        Sandy’s love of her life was her family. She loved attending her grandchildren’s and great grandchildren’s events whether it was a sporting event, piano recital, or birthday party. Sandy was our “rock star” and an inspiration to all of us. She retired from running with more victories in the Sweet Corn Festival 5K than any other female competitor! She was truly, truly loved and will be greatly missed.

        The family would like to thank the staff at the Bird House Hospice for making her final days peaceful and comfortable. The staff at the Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center UIHC, especially Abby and Amber, and the staff at the GRMC, Burlington, Iowa, for all the care and support throughout this journey.
