Sandy loved cats and had six of them while married. Sandy enjoyed doing arts and crafts for the holidays. She looked forward to her extended family's annual trip to the beaches of the Carolinas. She planned special parties for these beloved family trips, including “Las Vegas Night”, “Luau Night” and countless others. She also loved family RV trips and visited 25 states in an RV.
