Sandra, more commonly known by her friends and loved ones as Sandy, worked as an Auditor for a telecommunication company and was a member of St. Henry Catholic Church of Belleville, IL.

I am so sorry that she left this world too soon! She didn’t even look near her age! Always smiling and laughing; even through it all.

I have not seen her in years, but we could always pick up right where we left off. I am sure that you all will miss her dearly, but just know that there is something after life. I truly believe she is with her Mom and Dad, sister and brothers again. Till we meet again Sandy!!
Please accept my deepest and heartfelt sympathy to Sandy’s family, I went to High School with her and had homeroom together. She always seemed to say the right words to make you feel better as she did this for me when my son passed and continue to whenever she saw a post that I had made. Just the little kind words made a difference, such a beautiful human, as heaven really did gain an angel..
I have only known Sandy and Bill the last few years but I’m sure the gates of Heaven flew open wide for her! What a Sweet and Wonderful Girl! My heart goes out to Bill. I know how he feels. No one knows till it happens to them.
Bill, I am so sorry for your loss. I have you and your family in my prayers. You were so blessed to have each other for so long. I know Sandy will be deeply missed.

Don and I send our deepest sympathies and prayers to Bill, Brad, Ashley & Molly, Drew & Krystal, Chad and all of Sandy’s family and friends. Our hearts are breaking for them.
Sandy came into our lives when Drew and Tyler entered WB kindergarten together.
Our family have so many special memories of the years those two boys spent time together at the Wuller’s house or at ours, playing sports, going to Holiday World, times from WB to college visits. She was amazing cook and Tyler absolutely loved her dinners and her famous chocolate chip cookies. Her family was her everything. She was such a strong and positive person. She was always so sweet and just fun to be with!
Our family was blessed to know her!
Heaven gained a special angel. 🦋
Praying for peace and comfort for all those she loved during this difficult time 🙏
The Francis Family
Susan, Don, Tyler & Michael
A very special, kind hearted loving soul. So very sad to hear about Sandy’s passing because she had so much love to give and life to live. We spoke not long ago how we were going to meet up when she was in AZ. Boy, I wish we would have made that happen. When my daughter Brooke passed, Sandy gave me the biggest hug with tears streaming down her face. I will never forget that hug. Prayers to her family and friends.
I am so sorry for your loss. Sandy was a beautiful, loving and caring lady. She made this world a better place. Prayers for peace and comfort for her loved ones. 🙏🙏
