Fierce, loving, adventurous, and hardworking, Peggy was a force of nature who could do just about anything she set her sights on.  Peggy was a loving person, she was always supportive and helped all who needed her, regardless of the “ask”.  Hosting at her home during the holidays, Peggy opened her door to all things family/friends, and all who attended were always made to feel welcome.  Peggy’s favorite holiday was “Halloween”, traditions were a huge part of the Sandell family gatherings

Crusader traditions were a blast from the past, in which Peggy continued to host Football pre-game dinners for players, coaches, cheerleaders, and all who wanted to be part of the tradition.
