Sandra graduated from Binghamton North High School and St. Peter's Hospital College of Nursing in Albany, NY. She worked as a nurse for various doctors and Wilson Hospital Nursery. She was involved with the Triple Cities Hiking Club where she met John. They enjoyed hiking, skiing, and building their 'forever' home in Vestal where they raised their two children. Sandra was a Girl Scout Troop leader, involved in the PTA, and attended all of Linda's soccer games and track meets. She also assisted with Brian's cub scouts as a den mother and youth sports. She was great at making cookies and fudge for all to enjoy. Sandra and John made sure to get their kids out to travel on several cross-country trips visiting and camping at many national parks. She and her husband John also traveled internationally to Scotland, Egypt, Chile, and Easter Island. Rarely would she be upset or angry. She was a kind, giving woman who always smiled. She was a wonderful wife and mother, devoted to her husband and raising their two children. She adored her two grandchildren Evan and Daisy. She was the grandma who always took the children, met the bus with Evan in elementary school, and hosted sleepovers. She will be missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
