Sandra K. Boelhower

Harrisburg, S.D., formerly Sioux City

Sandra “Sandy” Kay Boelhower, 67, of Harrisburg, formerly of Sioux City, passed away Friday, Oct. 23, 2020, at a Sioux Falls, S.D., hospital with her kids by her side.

A celebration of life will take place at a later date. Arrangements are under the direction of Heritage Funeral Home in Sioux Falls. Condolences may be sent online to harrisburgchapel.com.

Sandy was born on Aug. 22, 1953, in Sioux City, to Durilla “Lolly” and Luella (Preston) Harmon.

Sandy married George Williams III in 1971, and had two daughters, Shawn and Heather Williams. In 1977, she remarried with Conrad “CJ” Boelhower, and had a son, Chad Boelhower. After living in a few cities, the family settled down in Harrisburg, where they built a home.

Sandy stayed busy as a second mom to many rambunctious neighborhood boys, helping to keep the trouble to a minimum. Sandy was a manager at Spencer Gifts for more than 10 years. While there, she developed a love for purchasing a lot of Halloween decorations. She took great pride in having the scariest home in town several years in a row. When she wasn’t scaring people, or playing pranks on them, she spent her time reading, doing puzzles and watching westerns. She enjoyed spending time with her family and friends, but especially enjoyed spending time with her grandkids, Oliver, Eloise, and Norah Boelhower.

Left to cherish her memory are her daughters, Shawn and Heather Williams; her son and daughter-in-law, Chad and Brianna Boelhower and their children, Oliver, Eloise and Norah; her siblings, Bill, Randy, and Linda Harmon; her uncle, Lyle and aunt, Jeri Preston; her niece, Hope Babb-Sandison and her kids, Faith, Alexis, Christian and Abigail; her longtime friends, Donna Clements, and Angie and Gene Peterson; her honorary nieces and nephews, Amanda, Brianna, Talulah and Beckett; and her many wonderful cousins.

She was preceded in death by her parents; and many aunts and uncles.

Should family and friends desire, contributions may be sent to P.O. Box 175, Harrisburg, SD 57032 to help cover expenses
