She was the third of nine children and grew up in Bountiful, Utah. She loved being a part of a big family and spoke fondly of them. She would tell stories of her grandparents and was very proud of her German and pioneer heritage.

Sandi married Larry Wardell Black on March 17, 1969, and they were sealed in the Salt Lake City Temple. They lived in Rose Park, Sandy, and Huntsville before settling in South Ogden to raise their family of five children.

Sandi was an amazing seamstress and enjoyed making outfits or altering dresses to match the fashion. She loved teaching others to sew and was proud to pass that talent down to her grandchildren.

Sandi enjoyed toll painting and making crafts. She was a gifted photographer and loved to take pictures of sunsets just like her dad. She also enjoyed scuba diving, snowmobiling, and four wheeling with family and friends.

Sandi had the ability to make you feel like you were the most important person in the room and would listen to you as you shared stories about your day. She was always the last to leave a party because she loved learning everyone’s story.

Sandi was very intuitive when it came to figuring things out. She wouldn’t wait for anyone to help her; she would just take care of it. She was very independent in this way and loved seeing what she could do.

Sandi worked as a demonstrator for some of the first microwaves. She would amaze people with what you could cook in a microwave! She worked for Jenn-Aire and was so proud when she sold a truck full of ovens. She would later work for Fieldcrest Cabinets and was very good at designing kitchens.

Sandi was the type of friend that you would have for life. She enjoyed luncheons with many friends that she made over the years. She would talk about those lunches for weeks after they had them. Sandi was a Daughter of the Utah Pioneers and loved attending meetings and spending time with her friends. Making memories with friends was always something she loved.

Sandi was a very good cook and would spend time making meals for her family. She made the best soup, and always made enough to ensure she could take it around to the neighbors. She always made your birthday special. She would call and sing to you and then later bake your favorite cake at monthly birthday parties we would have as a family.

Sandi loved traveling with the love of her life, Larry. They were able to visit many places, some of which included Egypt, Czech Republic, Prague, Mexico, Heidelberg, Bremer, Bremerhaven, Koln, Austria, Munich, London, Hawaii, New York, Brussels, Nauvoo, and many cruises with family.

Sandi enjoyed spending weekends at the family cabin in the Uintahs and Huntsville. The family spent many Christmases at the Uintah cabin. For Sandi, the best time was when the family was together making memories.

Sandi had a strong testimony of her savior and his atonement. She loved serving wherever she could. She went on missions with Larry in Ogden as well as the Crestwood Care Center. She had the ability to know what their needs were and would work hard to meet them.

Sandi had a love for genealogy. She loved touring church history sites to research stories of our family. She served at the genealogy library submitting thousands of names for temple work and teaching others how to get their genealogy done.

Sandi taught computers at King Elementary School where she had many friends. She enjoyed sharing stories with her family about what her students were doing. She cherished the time she spent there.

Sandi was always trying to help others learn new things, and always did what she could to help others improve their lives. She is an example to her family of how to give unconditional love to those they meet and each other. She will be missed by so many.
