Sandy was born on St. Patrick’s Day in 1945, and was always proud to celebrate her Irish heritage every year on her birthday.  She was a 1963 graduate of Plum Senior High School, and eventually went on to obtain a certificate in cosmetology.  Sandy worked for over 20 years as an administrative assistant at Good Shepherd Cemetery in Monroeville.  She was a member of the A.O.H. Division 17 in Monroeville.  Sandy enjoyed listening to polka music, dancing, and taking trips in her earlier years to her cabin in Pymatuning.  Most of all, Sandy treasured the time spent with all of her grandchildren, whom she loved wholeheartedly.
