Her short stature could be found behind a cash register or working on the floor at Goodrich Dairy, Nebraska Clothing, One Hour Martinizing, Hospe’s Mr. Music, Brandeis, Younkers, or Osco Drug. She enjoyed country music, dancing, and doll collecting. Sandy was also an enthusiastic volunteer for many years at Omaha’s Summer Arts Festival and an avid political volunteer for both party lines.
She will be deeply missed by those who knew and loved her. Our family is extremely grateful for all the TLC she received at both Immanuel Courtyard and Immanuel Fontenelle.

Dear Barry’s. Sandy is a happy childhood memory. She tried so hard so many times to teach me to jitterbug. I never did learn! It was always a delight to see her at mass at St Joan of Arc❤️ Clarice and Bob Murnan

My Mom will be there with open arms welcoming Sandy into heaven. I will miss her smile, the twinkle in her eye and her laughter. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Love, Lynnette
My sincere condolences to Sandy’s family and all of those who knew her. To know her was to love her.
She was a sweet person and a great friend.
Love, Theresa
Sandy was a dear friend to my aunt Rose Zrostlik, whom we lost last fall. I have so many memories of Sandy coming up to the farm to celebrate birthdays and holidays with Rose when I was growing up in Lyons. I was able to take Rose to see Sandy last summer and we enjoyed a french silk pie together. They are certainly rejoicing together in heaven. ❤️
