Miles, Sandra Kay “Sandy” (Harville)

MADISON - Sandra Kay “Sandy” (Harville) Miles passed away on Sunday, Feb. 6, 2022. She was born on Oct. 2, 1947, in Dubuque, Iowa, the daughter of the late Nod (Steffan) and Lewis Harville. Sandra grew up in Iowa and attended Valley High School in Elgin, where she met the love of her life, Randy. They married in June of 1970 and were married for 13 years, until Randy passed away in 1983.

After high school, Sandy attended the University of Iowa and completed licensed practitioner nurse (LPN) training in 1967. After graduation from nursing school, she moved to Madison and worked in the Medical ICU at Madison General Hospital. Sandy retired in December of 2011 after 37 years of nursing. While she enjoyed her early nursing years at the hospital, Sandy eventually made the transition to working in family practice. She loved the change in nursing focus. Sandy would often talk about the families that would come into the clinic and how she thoroughly enjoyed watching the children thrive and the families grow together.

Left to cherish Sandy’s memory are her daughter, Amy (John Silbernagel); and son, Jason; her adored granddaughter, Nicole Cochems; sister, Suzie (Harville) Anderson; brother, Nick (Ginger) Harville; nephew, Sean Anderson; niece, Tina Duffenbach; and great-nieces and great-nephew, Taylor (Derek) Lusk, Noah (Mikayla) Duffenbach and Ryann Duffenbach. She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Randy; aunt, Dorothy Steffen; and other aunts, uncles and family members.
