Sandy was a member of Crystal Springs Church of God where she served as pianist, on the music committee and on the board of trustees. While she attended First Church of God in St. Joseph, she served as the pianist. She cherished the time spent with her Church family on Sundays and other special occasions. Sandy loved the Lord and growing her faith. She loved the Lake Michigan sunsets, taking them in as often as possible, and the time spent with her cats at home.
