She was born in Detroit on December 23, 1936, the daughter of Clifton and Amelia Gregory. Sandy grew up in Charlevoix and lived there most of her life with her parents. She worked at the local dime store for many years and finished her working career at Hoskins in Charlevoix. Sandy loved the Charlevoix community and was very active in it. When she was younger, she learned to waterski and got really good at starting on one ski on the dock. She taught her nieces and nephew how to ski during the summers they spent together. She also had fun swimming, bowling, biking and cross-country skiing. Sandy loved serving on the board for the Rainbow Shop in Charlevoix – a resale store sponsored by local churches to help the community. Sandy was fun loving, energetic, and kind. She was good at making people feel special and considered many her friend.
