Sandra graduated from West Pike in 1957 and many years later, received her art degree at Quincy College. Sandra had many God-given artistic talents working in several mediums with painting being her favorite. She was involved with several community art projects, as well as painted many murals in her home. Sandra had a beautiful singing voice. She was a very accomplished seamstress, sewing her children’s clothes when they were young, formal dresses and later enjoyed quilting. Sandra and Lester took occasional vacations over the years, beginning with a honeymoon to the Bad Lands and continuing on to destinations of Hawaii, Washington D.C., California, New Orleans, and Renfro Valley and Vincent, Kentucky. Time spent with family was a constant source of enjoyment, especially with her grandchildren and great grandchildren. Along with her own children, she enjoyed time with nieces and nephews including experiencing shenanigans of certain nephews.
