Sandy is survived by Dale McKee, her husband of 51 years; daughters, Angela (Dan) Marek, Trudy (Dave) Alefaio; siblings, Judy (Dennis Wilson) Victory, Gary (Nancy) Thomson & Dennis (Tammy) Thomson; grandchildren, Cassandra (Chad Waddle) Cartwright & Brandon (Jessica Bailey) Marek.

She was preceded in death by her mother Helene, father Charles and brothers Bob and Scott.

Sandy was an active member of the Pacific Northwest 4 Wheel Drive Association and enjoyed racing and 4 Wheeling with her family and friends. As a bus driver for the Federal Way School District for 30 years Sandy took joy in connecting with her students, some of whom she was still in touch with. In their retirement Dale and Sandy split their time between Fawn Lake in Shelton, Washington and Yuma, Arizona. When you say someone loved life you must be referring to Sandy. She never let anything hold her back, as someone recently said "You either loved Sandy or you learned to love her."

Her legacy will live on in all who knew her. A celebration of life will be held in Washington in May 2017.
