Outside of her professional life, Sandy had many pursuits that brought her joy. She spent years showing horses, a testament to her love for animals and the outdoors. Gardening was not just a hobby but a passion, as she delighted in cultivating beautiful flower beds, caring for her cherished koi pond, and watching her cockatiels. Sandy also found solace in her painting, expressing her vibrant spirit through art.
