In her younger years, Sandra enjoyed boating and skiing with family and friends, playing cards, along with gathering with her tennis gang in the mornings. Sandra loved to garden like her father, feed and watch her birds, and grow beautiful flowers. Later in their years, Sandra and Chuck became winter Texans and traveled to the Hill Country in Texas, making many new friends. Family was important to Sandra. She always looked forward to their annual family trip to Minnesota which they took for over 50 years, and several holiday celebrations. Later in life she and Chuck took up the sport of golf, checked items off their bucket list, and spent many hours on the road supporting the grandkids. Sandra was also involved in many church activities, Craft and Culture Club, Bridge Club, and PEO. She is survived by her husband, Chuck; daughters, Tera of Lincoln, NE, Patti (Chris) Shepard of Lenexa, KS, Shelly (Brent) Hollinger of Stromsburg, NE; 5 grandchildren, Collin Shepard, Kristin Shepard, Grant, Cory, and Tanner Hollinger; and her brother, Warren (Ruby) Peterson of Omaha, NE. She was preceded in death by her parents, Ray and Florence Peterson. In lieu of flowers memorials may be directed to Salem Lutheran Church, Dakota City, NE, or to the family for future designations.
