Sandy's passion for helping people led her to pursue a career in nursing after obtaining her BSN from Franklin University. She served as a faithful nurse at Mercy Hospital, Ohio Valley Hospital, and even a hospital in Florida. She dedicated many years to this noble profession before retiring from Mercy Hospital. Sandy's commitment to caring for others was unparalleled, and her patients always felt comforted by her compassionate presence. Outside of work, Sandy enjoyed various hobbies and interests including reading, going on walks, and watching the Cincinnati Reds. Her and Phil enjoyed traveling to Florida and spending their winters in North Ft. Myers, cherishing every moment spent together. Additionally, Sandy found great pleasure in visiting Amish country. Sandy was a strong woman of faith and dedicated member of the Central Christian Church, Springfield. Sandy's kindness and compassion touched the lives of many throughout her journey. Above all, Sandy's top priority was loving and spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She will be deeply missed by all who had the pleasure to know and love her, but her legacy of love and selflessness will continue to inspire generations to come.
