Born on February 8, 1942, in Woodbury, NJ, Sandi was raised in Pitman before living in Clayton and briefly Williamstown. For the past 32 years, she made her home in Franklinville, where she embraced the community and created lasting memories. A proud graduate of Pitman High School, Sandi continued her education at Glassboro State College for horticulture. She began her career as a cosmetologist at the age of 17, embarking on a journey that would become a deeply fulfilling part of her life. Over the years, Sandi owned two businesses prior to becoming a cosmetology teacher at Camden County Vocational Technical School in Sicklerville, NJ and at Cumberland County Technical Education Center in Bridgeton, NJ, for 16 years, retiring in 2005.
Sandi was known for her passion for gardening, both flowers and vegetables, and she cherished her vacations with her husband at their vacation home in Virginia. Her commitment to the Franklinville Senior Center for 15 years, where she organized trips and ran bingo events, was a testament to her community-focused spirit. Sandi’s vibrant personality was evident through her lifelong enjoyment of dancing and her active participation in a bowling league during her younger years.
