Sandra found herself working alongside her husband, Dexter at Schadel's Bakery. They purchased the bakery after Sandra retired from teaching.

Although Sandra did not have a lot of time for herself, she did so much for her family including being a caregiver to her mother, mother-in-law, her brother and finally to her husband, she loved her Sorority Sisters and belonging to Beta Sigma Phi.  Her Sorority Sisters just celebrated her 60th anniversary in memoriam.
