Spending time gardening, or any form of outside activities, was her favorite time to communicate with God and admire the country he has created.  Sandi was very talented in different types of crafts and an avid quilter.  She was always friendly and enjoyed interacting with people.  Sandi, also, loved her church and church family; she was a longtime active member of the First United Methodist Church in Coolidge.
