Sandra enjoyed golf, and bowling, and Sandra and Jim were heavily active in the local Orchid Society where they designed and competed in Orchid shows throughout the tri-county area. Sandra was active in many social activities and loved playing cards and games with family and friends in the area. She made many deep friendships in the neighborhood that lasted until her passing. Sandra was a family person who coveted spending time with her children, grandchildren and great grandson which always included sharing her sense of humor, warmth, love, and great food!  Later in life she took up quilting and created many beautiful works which reflected her artistic abilities. Sandra and Jim began spending winters in Daytona Beach, Florida where family and friends congregated as well. They enjoyed walking the beach and scouring flea markets.
