Sandy was employed by The City of Farmer City and held many positions, including; City Clerk, Interium Co-City Manager, and City Council Member. After 21 years she decided to retire and become a full time grandma.
Sandy’s greatest joy in life was her family. Anyone that had the pleasure of knowing her knew how much she cherished her boys, her grandchildren, her great nieces and her friends. She enjoyed going on cruises, camping, attending the kids ballgames, serving her community, and had a love for Diet Coke. Her smile and “suck it up buttercup” attitude will be missed dearly my many.
