Sandee was always kind and helpful wherever and whenever it was needed. She was a loyal and hard worker who always believed in doing her best. She believed in going above and beyond and earned the respect of her employers as a result of her outstanding work and ability. Sandee's friends appreciated her very much and enjoyed Sandee's sense of loyalty and dedication to helping them any chance she could. Sandee organized fund raisers, helped recruit tutors, found housing and provided financial help for friends and relatives. Sandee was a great organizer, and everyone depended on her when it came to organizing parties, family reunions, Christmas gift exchanges and travel.
