Nicknamed “Crafty Sandy”, her passions included teaching, painting, and creating arts and crafts. She was a skilled painter and master cake decorator.

This work was featured on the cover of the Official Souvenir Program of the Oklahoma Semi-Centennial Ottawa County Pageant.
Other career highlights include: weather reporter for Armed Forces Radio & Television Service in Asmara, Africa, and numerous bookkeeping positions throughout the years while raising her three boys under the hardest job in America, that of a deployed service-member’s spouse.
