Sandy loved her family and friends. She especially enjoyed her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She enjoyed games and puzzles. Don and Sandy belonged to a 500 card club and Sandy played Pepper with friends until recently. Sandy liked to play Tripoli and dominoes with the grandkids. She had a running game of Tripoli going with the younger granddaughters that she officially won as she had the most chips the very last time they played. Don and Sandy also played many games of cribbage. Sandy enjoyed having tea parties with the granddaughters. Holiday traditions were always a big thing in the family which included grandma Rash’s rolls for holiday dinners and candy turkeys for Thanksgiving. At Christmas, family members always had one of their favorite foods wrapped under the tree and the gifts were from “Sandy” Claus. Bob Hograbe received a yearly gag gift and grandson, Matthew, always got a roll of duck tape.
