Sandy C Andersen

Sandy Cecelia Andersen, 80, left this world on Feb. 4, 2011. She suffered from a debilitating disease and moved from Florida to Longmont, Colorado in 2008, to be in the care of her daughter. She was born June 15, 1930, in Wayne County, Pennsylvania to Monty Brockett and Frances Woldy, both deceased. She had three sisters and one brother all deceased. She was married in 1950 to the late Albert R. Andersen (1976) of Hensonville, New York, where she lived until retiring to Port Richey, Florida in 1989. She was employed by AT&T Bell Telephone in Windham, New York, as a switchboard operator during the days of party lines and three digit telephone numbers. Mrs. Andersen is survived by her daughter, Stephanie Gross of Niwot, Colorado and son Albert Andersen III of South English, Iowa; three grandsons: Jasen Andersen of Wheat Ridge, Colorado, Albert Andersen IV of Williamsburg, Iowa, and Matthew Gross of Niwot, Colorado; and two great grandsons: Ty Andersen of Wheat Ridge, Colorado and Albert Andersen V, of Williamsburg, Iowa. Another daughter, Pamela Andersen of Lone Tree, Iowa predeceased her in 1988. She will be interred in the family burial ground in Ashland, New York. In lieu of flowers, a donation in her honor to the American Heart Association or Alzheimer’s Association would be appreciated. Mrs. Andersen will be remembered for her strength, independence and courage. She had the “gift of gab” and she will be greatly missed by her family and friends. www.cristmortuary.com
