Sandy grew up in Richmond, Virginia, and graduated from Huguenot High School. She deeply loved her family and her two boys. She later moved with her parents to New Orleans, Louisiana, where she lived for a couple of years before getting married.

Sandy, as she was lovingly called by her family, faced many challenges later in life due to scoliosis and multiple back surgeries. In the end, she was ready to go and be reunited with her parents. She will be dearly missed by her family and friends.
