Sandra Irene Belzer

Sandi was born on March 23, 1953. Her early years were spent on her parents’ fruit ranch north

of Wapato, WA. Sandi’s support of the family orchard led her to become an expert tractor

driver when it came to harvest time for pears and peaches. Speaking of peaches, she was

selected Miss Peaches and Cream for the Yakima Valley in 1972. That was a proud moment for

her dad, for whom a bowl of fresh sliced peaches with cream was a seasonal treat for him and

the family. Sandra graduated from Wapato High School in 1971 and later attended Washington

State University for a time.

Sandi was a caring person who was always willing to help others with her time and energy. She

maintained numerous friendships, in part because of her compassionate heart. In the later

years of her mom’s life, Sandi’s devotion to her care was instrumental in helping her stay in her

home as long as possible.

Sandi was a dedicated and hard working woman who never lacked in energy. She pursued

several different careers over the course of her life, but none were as important to her as

educating people on the Constitution of the United States of America.

Sandi was a lover of liberty. She was part of the tireless minority and was always about keeping

the Republic. She lived a life driven by passion and purpose for her country and her strong

Christian faith. Sandi was currently the State Chair for the Republican Liberty Caucus and her

work was integral in founding the first RLC in Yakima. She will be remembered for being the

driving force for the STOP (So Tired Of Paying) committee, her Pro-Life stance, and as co-host

of a local T.V. program, “If Not You Then Who”. She was the Facilitator for Center for Self-

Governance, and co-founder of Yakima Freedom Partners. Sandi ran for Yakima City Council

and worked on numerous campaigns including Ron Paul for president and Loren Culp for

governor.

Sandi is survived by her children Ali Vincent and Joseph Connors, her five grandchildren and

by her brother David Belzer (Karen). She was preceded in death by her husband Phillip

Brendale, her father A. Bruce Belzer and her mother Irene F Belzer.

A celebration of life service for family and friends will be held on Thursday, October 14th at 2 pm at Keith

and Keith Funeral Home in Yakima.

A second event, Celebration of Life Rally, will be held on Sunday, October 17th.
