WELCH, Sandra Rae Sandra Rae Welch was born December 31, 1965, the fourth daughter of Charles and Karen Morefield.

Sandi was raised in the Spokane area until the middle of junior high when she moved to Portland, Oregon where she would finish her secondary education.

After moving back to Spokane, she met and married Bob Seipp and in February 1992 their son RC was born. Two daughters, Katie and Alex quickly followed. While in high school, Sandi discovered photography.

She had a very creative eye and photography would become not just a passion for Sandi, but a career. Sandi began working at R&R Custom Color Lab and ran Images by Sandi on the side. Also an avid pool player, Sandi was a member of the American Pool Players Association. She was a tough competitor on the table and in 2010 her team finally made it to the APA National Finals in Las Vegas.

Besides making lifelong friends, the APA also gave Sandi the love of her life, her fireman-hero Jim Galley. Through Jim, Sandi gained a bonus daughter Tiffany.

In February of 2009, Sandi was diagnosed with stage IV ovarian cancer. Her doctors gave her 24 months at most. Not one to back down from a challenge, Sandi chose to pursue aggressive treatment.

On December 16, 2014, just shy of her five year diagnosis anniversary, Sandi passed away at home with her puppy, Duchess, her love Jim and her family at her side.

Sandi is survived by her parents Karen Svenvold and Charles and Rebecca Morefield, sisters Christi (Tom), Lori (Jeff), Juli (Ed), brother Ryan,children Robert Charles, Alexandra, Kaitlin, Tiffany, numerous nieces and nephews and even more great-nieces and nephews.

To honor Sandi's life and her hard fought battle, the family has asked that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to Teals the Deal.org. "Sandi you were an incredible source of inspiration for so many. Your determination and strength to keep up the fight was simply amazing. You will always be remembered and forever missed."
