Sandy enjoyed traveling and visited many interesting locales including the Panama Canal and Central America, Alaska and the Rocky Mountains, Canadian Maritimes, and Europe as well. And, no matter where she went, she never met a stranger! She loved to chat with anyone and everyone, bringing friendliness and joy everywhere she went.
