In Loving Memory of Sandra Sue Hendrickson

Sandra Sue Hendrickson, 77, passed away unexpectedly at her home on August 17, 2026.

Sandy was the proud mother of four children and grandmother of six grandchildren. She earned her master's degree in education while raising four children, an accomplishment that reflected the determination and perseverance that defined her life. She was also a breast cancer survivor whose strength inspired those around her.

Teaching was more than a career for Sandy; it was her true calling. As an elementary school teacher for many years, she touched the lives of countless students through her passion, patience, and dedication.

Sandy was a gifted storyteller who loved to write and dreamed of one day publishing a book. She was an avid reader and lifelong learner who almost always had a book in her hand. She approached life with curiosity, creativity, and an endless desire to learn.

She had a vibrant personality and never met a stranger. She loved decorating her home and had a remarkable eye for creating beautiful spaces. Her family likes to imagine that she is already redecorating in heaven. Halloween was her favorite holiday, and her family will always remember the annual haunted house tours and the unforgettable Halloween displays that made her home the envy of the neighborhood.

As a mother, Sandy believed life should be filled with laughter and joy. She could turn late-night cleaning sessions into dance parties and never passed up the opportunity to play a good prank. She was kind, compassionate, and an animal lover. Above all else, she loved her children and grandchildren more than life itself.

Sandy is survived by her three sons, John Halstead (51), Josh Halstead (48), and Jared Snodgrass (37); her daughter, Sarah Selvidge (40); her brother, John Hendrickson; and her six beloved grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her father, John Hendrickson; her mother, Mabel Hendrickson; her brother, Ron Hendrickson; and her sister, Sharon Hendrickson.

The family asks for your prayers during this time of sudden and unexpected loss as they remember and celebrate the life of a remarkable woman who will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.
