She came to Kalispell and decided to stay around with family and friends. Sandi worked several jobs in Kalispell including 911 dispatch. She found her last job at Teletec which she did up until last year. She loved this job and the people she worked with.

Sandi loved family. Although she never had children, she doted on her nieces and nephews and then on her great nieces and nephews here in Kalispell as well as extended family as much as she could.

Sandi was a true patriot and loved the USA. She was known for her love of everything red white and blue and her two dogs ‘Liberty’ and ‘Freedom’ who she mourned and had with her when she finally found her “smokin hot body” She will be remembered by her family and friends as the caring and giving person she was.
