Obituary
Strietelmeier, Sandra Kay
MADISON-Sandra Kay Strietelmeier, age 58, passed away peacefully at home on Sunday, Aug. 17, 2014. She was born on Jan. 15, 1956, in Columbus, Ind., the daughter of Robert and Elizabeth (Steinkamp) Strietelmeier. Sandra graduated from Columbus High School in 1974 and attended Purdue University. She worked at Becton Dickinson for more than 30 years. Sandra was a dog lover and enjoyed listening to all kinds of music. She was a longtime member of Unity Church of Madison, actively involved with the Prayer Ministry and the Prayer Chaplain Program. Every once in awhile you meet one of those people that are pure love. Sandy was one of those people. Her capacity for love was only limited by the time she was here. Evidence of her focus on loving was the large collection of hearts of every size and shape. She was love, she was loved, and she was loving. Sandra is survived by her mother, Elizabeth; brother, Mark (Cindy) Strietelmeier; nephew, Ed (Laura) Strietelmeier; niece, Kate (Tony) Homan; great-nephew, Ike Homan; great-nieces, Nora and Elizabeth Strietelmeier; her dog, Beacon; housemate, Carl Swanson; and many loved friends and Unity Church Family and prayer chaplains. Memorial services will be held on Saturday, August 23, 2014, at 2 p.m. at the UNITY CHURCH OF MADISON, 601 Tompkins Drive, Madison with the Rev. Marshall Norman presiding. Burial will take place at Garland Brook Cemetery, Columbus, Ind., at a later date. A special thank you is extended to Agrace HospiceCare, loved ones and caregivers from Unity Church and Pat Arnold for all their wonderful care given to Sandy. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Agrace HospiceCare and/or Light and Love Ministries. Online condolences may be made at www.gundersonfh.com

Dear Betty, Mark, and family, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Sandy was a dear childhood friend, and we spent many, many treasured hours together around the dogs and chickens, on the school bus, at school, and sharing January birthdays. May God's peace be with you.

Betty and Mark, I am so sorry to learn Sandy has passed away. She and Scott shared the same birthday (January 15th) and he often talked about the many wonderful memories he shared with your family when he was growing up. You may not be aware that Scott passed away on 5/18/2013. Keeping both of you in my thoughts and prayers. Sharon McAllister

I saw Sandy at Unity and you could see the love and light, which was Spirit, in her eyes ~ she radiated love. It was a pleasure knowing her.
