Born in Fort Wayne, Sandy spent her formative years in Columbia City, graduating from Columbia City High School. She was the daughter of the late Gay and Bonnie Williamson Smith. She learned the value of hard work at an early age and spent much of her adult work life at Superior Sample and at Millennium Industries, both in Ligonier. She later retired from Millennium.
A fun loving person, Sandy enjoyed dancing. She enjoyed live music, especially country music and enjoyed line dancing. She was a member of the VFW, American Legion and Eagles – Syracuse. She was a person of faith and loved time spent with her family. She also liked camping; her family fondly remembers camping with her as children and later at country concerts. They also remember her playing the piano and crocheting.
Those who survive with memories to cherish include four sons: Shannon Geiger, of Syracuse; Jeremy (Kristy) Geiger, of Cromwell; Chris (Selena) Geiger, of Wawaka; and Troy (Jennifer) Geiger, of Warsaw; eight grandchildren and sister, Faye (Rodney) Smith-Shull. She was preceded in passing by her parents.
Owen Family Funeral Home, Syracuse, is entrusted with Sandy’s care. Visitors may gather with the family at the funeral home on Saturday, Sept. 17 between 10 a.m. and noon. Interment will take place privately at Thorne Cemetery, Ormas.
Memorial gifts may be directed to the Alzheimer’s Association, 225 N. Michigan Ave., floor 17, Chicago, IL 60601.
