LAKEVILLE - Sandra K. Bazini, 55, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, Aug. 18, 2018, in North Liberty.

Sandra was born on Feb. 15, 1963, in Woodland, Calif. to Frederick M. and Camilla A. Douglas Boyd. She attended Northrop High School in Fort Wayne, where she excelled in swimming, graduating with the class of 1981. She then went on to attend Purdue University, graduating in 1986 with a bachelor’s in pharmacy.

On May 30, 1987, in Fort Wayne, Sandra married Jimmie Dean Bazini. He would proceed her in death in 2008.

She had suffered a few tragic family losses within a short period, but one man entered her life, Ernie J. Whitacre. He brought joy back into her life and brought her wonderful smile back.

Sandra worked as a pharmacist for many Wal-Mart stores in the area, surrounding areas and even in Kentucky.

Very competitive from an early age, Sandra cherished times at her grandparents playing board games and memories made with her family. Ernie and she were on several bowling leagues at Chippewa Bowling Lanes in South Bend. She loved golfing and running in 5Ks that supported various local causes. She was also an avid fan of Purdue athletics.

Sandra was a very active member of Lakeville United Methodist Church. She was in the Chancel Choir, the Joyful Ringers hand bell choir, attended Sunday School classes and attended a home group that met during the week. She always had a smile and bright energy when she came to church that everyone enjoyed. Sandra also took time to listen to those that just needed an ear; she never met a stranger.

Sandra is survived by her father, Frederick M. (Karma) Boyd; life partner, Ernie J. Whitacre, Middlebury; father and mother-in-law, Donald (Rosemary) Laughlin, Claypool; stepfather, Jim Shilling; stepsiblings Michael (Gail) Baum, Warsaw; Jeanine (Don) Martin, Huntington; Jeff Baum, Wisconsin; Larry (Barb) Baum, Grand Haven, Mich.; Ryan (Cindra) McCormick, Crawfordsville; and Kristen (Basil) Romanovich, West Lafayette; sisters-in-law Christine (David) Sands, Syracuse; and Teresa (Tom) Breading, Warsaw; step-siblings from Jimmie’s family, Theresa Silver,  West Lafayette; Michelle (Sean) Koos, Warsaw; and Chad (Manika) Laughlin  Warsaw; and many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Jimmie; mother, Camilla Shilling; paternal grandparents William I. (Della) Boyd; maternal grandparents Merville (Martha) Douglass; stepmother, Marilyn J. Baum Boyd; and father-in-law Elias Lee Bazini.

Visitation will be held on Friday Aug. 24, from 4 to 7 p.m. in the Johnson-Danielson Funeral Home, 1100 N. Michigan St., Plymouth.

Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 25, at the Lakeville United Methodist Church, 610 N. Michigan St., Lakeville. Visitation will resume one hour prior to the service in the church.

Chip Shots: How Callous IS It?
For every 700 to 1,000 words of mine you read on any given Saturday, I have a list of callous, cynical thoughts and remarks I can make about the topics I discuss… easily five-fold of what I allow past my filter and, in turn, e-mail to my editor.
