Sandra enjoyed spending time with friends and family. She was a lover of nature and animals, and enjoyed walking in the Maine woods. The Chickadee was her favorite song bird. She enjoyed listening to music of all kinds, such as Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty, Bob Seger and she especially loved the song "Purple Rain" by Prince.
