You are all in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. When I think back over the years the one thing that stands out most in my mind is that your Mom never missed a family function, we would see her smiling and jovial face whether it was a wedding, shower, special birthday, anniversary, etc. She was always si kind to our family. My Mom has been gone 27 years and I still have the precious note your Mom wrote when we lost here. To honor Sandria I hope we can all continue to show the kindness that she showed throughout her life with love in our hearts.😇🙏

My sincere condolences to all family and friends of Sandy, of which there are many. My heart especially goes out to Rod and Regina. She was my mom's (Kriss Keller) dearest friend in life. Sandy included my sisters and I as if we were part of her family (trips, wrestling matches, parties etc). She had an infectious laugh and gave the greatest hugs. She will be missed; but always remembered. She fulfilled God's purpose for her life by sharing her love. With sympathy Linda Keller Beaudette

My deepest sympathy to Regina, Rod and all of Sandra’s beloved family. Know you are all in my prayers as you grieve, celebrate Sandra’s incredible life and finally put her to rest next to her awaiting husband. I appreciate this featured picture of her because her beautiful spirit shines through her bright, smiling eyes. She had positivity impacted me and my family, as well as so many people throughout her life. The fictional character George Bailey comes to mind to describe the kind of generosity & love Sandra showed to all who knew her. Sandra, you will be deeply missed.

Sandria was a wonderful woman, and I am lucky to have known her. One reason Sandria was so beloved was that she reached out to others making sure they felt special. She often used her gifts of sewing, crafting, conversing, sharing, laughing, and empathizing to support others in their endeavors. She also had a way of making each of us feel special, even during large group campouts and holiday gatherings. Sandria went out of her way to celebrate other people's personal milestones. Her examples of a loving, caring woman will continue to guide me. Peace to you all.

I was out of town when I heard about Sandy. She was a truly remarkable woman. She volunteered with us at the Wisconsin Women's Health Foundation for years - no task was too big or too small. She always had a smile on her face, stories to tell and would help us solve the crossword puzzle when we gathered for lunch. This is a photo of our staff surrounding her at one of our Spring Galas. She will truly be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends.
