Sandy and Charlie were married July 17, 1976, in Hyannis. They were blessed with two sons and a daughter. Corey, Phil, and Marla.
She was a true rancher’s wife. Sandy knew her horses and cattle – from riding a green colt to pulling a calf if she had to. She helped put up a lot of hay for Bob and later for Charlie. She also fed a lot of hay for Charlie.
Sandy was an excellent cook for brandings and cattle work. If you went away hungry it was your own fault.
She dearly loved her grandkids, lawn work, did leather work, crocheting, knitting, quilting, and gardening.
