Sandy was an amazing mom and wife with a beautiful smile and a heart to match. She touched all those who knew her and will be missed by so many.
She grew up around flowers and plants in the greenhouses of her parent’s flower shop (Rappold Florist) where she developed an amazing talent for designing flower arrangements. After retiring from International Paper, alongside her gifted husband, Vern, they grew and sold Perennials. In addition to harnessing her green thumb, Sandy loved to read, spend time with family playing games, traveling and, if the opportunity arose, to play the slots.
