Sandra was born August 27, 1936 at the City of Akron Hospital to her parents James H. Houck and Julia R. (Sachany) Houck. She attended St. Joseph School and graduated from Randolph High school. She went on to graduate from the Akron School of Nursing, and later in life, from Hiram College where she received her bachelors degree. She was a registered nurse her entire career. Her work history was quite extensive, with stints at Akron City Hospital, Ravenna Visiting Nurse, Kent State University infirmary, Marietta Visiting Nurse, and Hospice in Marietta. She was also engaged by a law firm in Marietta, where they would consult her on the medical aspects of pending cases.
Farming became her passion early in life. She began working on her families dairy farm at a young age and helped out her father wherever needed. She continued to work cattle farming all her life. Sandra relished the outdoors and enjoyed her farm in Lower Salem. Her faith was important, attending St. Joseph Church of Suffield, St. Peters of the Fields of Rootstown, and St. Henrys after relocating to Lower Salem.
Sandra was a very caring and well-liked person, always helping people out. As her children grew up, she would take in any of their friends, or help them out if they needed something. She was always there for whoever needed her, family or friends. Sandra enjoyed family vacations and always enjoyed the company of her grandchildren and great grandchildren.
