Prior to graduating she worked at the local nursing home, and Crow River Bank. After graduating she continued working at the Crow River Bank, and had a few other jobs. After moving to Pequot Lakes, she worked almost 15 years at Boyd Lodge in Crosslake.

Sandy loved life to the fullest, riding snowmobile (and beating the boys with her machine) riding motorcycle, skiing out west, water skiing and just watching sunsets. She was great at decorating her home in condo in Florida. Her main love was her family and friends. She was always there for anyone that needed help.

Preceded in death by the love of her life and husband Cliff, her fur baby CoCo, her grandparents Herb and Fran Bock, Leslie and Florence Speckel, two very special uncles and cousin.

Survived by her parents Ray and Bev Speckel, brother Randy, her fur baby Lola, aunts, cousins and many friends.
