Her favorites are she loved a good old fashion head scratching while sitting on the porch! She loved her some stake & eggs, a good scary movie, a good book, singing in the church choir, family gatherings, home- made cobbler, and she loved the Lord!
Sandra had a gift for sharing, caring and helping others. In her work as an Assistant Nurse Health Care Aid. She often shared stories about patience/residence that displayed anti-social behavior and refused to cooperate with other nursing staff while requesting care only from her. She love their personalities, behaviors and spirit. And most of all they loved her. She had a gift of bonding with them. She looked beyond their difficult behavior saw their need. After a back injury, she left Health Care and became license to care for children in her home. Some of whom might be here today. This work was personal and important to her.
