"Sandy was the best thing that happened to my brother John. She was always moving and doing and taking John along with her! She was the light in his darkness when he needed it the most and a kindred soul "Up North". My sister Gloria, nieces and my husband will miss her. Love, Peggie"
In loving memory of
Sandra Lee Best-Giles
March 3, 1940 - December 13, 2015
Sandra Lee Best-Giles, of White Lake, died Sunday, December 13, 2015 at Pine Manor Health Care Center in Clintonville. She was 75 years old. She was born on March 3, 1940 in Green Bay daughter of Vincent and Amelia (Hock) VanEnvort. She married Archie Best and he preceded her in death.

She traveled extensively from 2002 until 2008 exploring areas west of the Mississippi River. She enjoyed bowling with women's bowling leagues in Green Bay. She was an avid hunter and angler. Her passion was driving vehicles: all sizes from snowmobiles to tour buses.
