h America. Among the many passions she shared with her children were a deep love for travel and experiencing diverse cultures around the world. Sandra spoke six languages and collected art and read literature from countries all over the world. Her deep respect for other cultures and diverse identities was reflected in the progressive culture she fostered in every organization she led. She also loved adventure and wanted to stay active as long as she was physically able. Being born near the sea, she had a lifelong fondness for diving, but also loved hiking, camping on her way to the top of Machu Pichu or the Australian outback, and generally anything that involved water. She appreciated good food and good company along with a nice glass of wine or sip of scotch. Her accomplishments could fill many lifetimes and her life could make a bestselling novel. Sandra was a woman of great passion, humor, and intellect, and will be deeply missed by her children, many friends and colleagues in Europe, Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver and Madison. Though we are poorer for her loss, all our lives are richer for the times Sandra was part of them. A celebration of life for Sandra will be held in Vancouver, British Columbia in the spring. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the American Cancer Society. Cress Funeral & Cremation Services 3610 Speedway Road (608) 238-3434
