As we say see you later to our beloved mother, we know she will be by our sides until we’re all united together again.

Our mother was a spunky, generous, loving, beautiful and strong woman who succeeded at a lot of tasks in her life, but her best accomplishment was being our mother.

Through the years she worked several jobs and also became a foster parent. A few of her favorite things in life were the love for and from her two fur babies Teddy and Bella, crocheting, country music, spending holidays with family, baking holiday cookies, and eating a great meal with a side of ice chips.

Sandra and her sister Dianne lived together, in which they formed a very close bond and cared for each other dearly.

One thing we will never forget about our mother is her big baby blues, and that no matter how she felt she always had a big, beautiful smile for us.

Friends are invited to visit with Sandra’s family Saturday morning, January 15th, from 8:30 to 10:00 a.m., at which time a Rememberance Service will be held at BEECHER & BENNETT, 2300 Whitney Ave., Hamden.

Interment will follow in Beaverdale Memorial Park.
