Sandra played clarinet in High School band and worked in VIT school administration for a short period after graduation. Upon her marriage to Frank, she concentrated on being mother to her sons as well as the many duties of a farmer’s wife. She was an active, caring member of the Ipava Christian Church for many years. She led Sunday School worship as well as helping to lead a local chapter of 4-H club.
Becoming a single mother in the late 1960’s, she sold Avon cosmetics as well as owning and managing the Main St. Sundries in Ipava during the early 70s. She would take a job with Mohr Value in Macomb which would transition to Walmart. She worked at Walmart in Macomb for over 25 years becoming an Office Trainer and Invoice Office Manager. Upon her retirement from Walmart, she moved to Texas in 2004 to be closer to “her boys”.
Sandra leaves her family and community darker without her smile and laugh. The porch and yard of her home in Ipava was a gathering place for many of the kids in the neighborhood. Her porch was the place of many happy conversations with lots of laughter. She was quick to help and lend ear to listen. She often enjoyed a good cup of black coffee with a friend. We will miss you Mom.
