She was a caregiver and took great care of those she loved most. Sandra loved shopping for jewelry and had multiple rings for every finger. Sandra enjoyed spending time potting and tending to her flowers. In her free time, Sandra enjoyed reading mystery novels or romance novels and completing crossword puzzles.
