Sandra “Sandy” Kay Vondersaar, 80, passed away on October 3, 2026. Known lovingly as “My Beautiful Girl” to her husband of 54 years, John Earl Vondersaar, Sandy lived a life defined by love, family, friendship, generosity, and her extraordinary gift for bringing people together.
Family was Sandy’s everything. She was a devoted mother to John and his wife Laurie, and Steve and his wife Jenn, and a proud and loving grandmother to her six grandchildren, Addison, Isabelle, Jackson, Violet, Reed, and Scarlett. Her love will always remain a part of them.
Sandy’s love for Jesus is immense. She knows that we will all be reunited in Heaven.
A private family ceremony celebrating Sandy’s life will be held at a later date.
The family asks donations be made in loving memory of Sandy Vondersaar to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
