Sandra was a dedicated member of Mt. Olive Missionary Baptist Church and raised her family to love our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. She was devoted to her family.

Sandra loved animals and cherished her dogs Heidi and Chloe. Sandra was a quick study. She could pick things up fairly quickly just by watching. She loved to tinker with things, which I believe is what led her to making Jewelry. She loved planting flowers. She also loved talking to family and friends but not during her soap opera's.
