Sandra was a graduate of Mattoon High School and was employed with the Charleston School District as a school bus driver for 35 years, retiring in 2005.  She was a faithful member of the East Harrison Street Church of God family.  Sandra also enjoyed being at home and taking care of her own family.  Her time was often occupied with different types of puzzles, playing a game of Chance or enjoying the company of her puppy.  Sandra’s family will truly miss this special woman who blessed their lives with her loving care.
