On May 23,2024 Sandy passed away at age 53 surrounded by her family after completing her journey with Leiomyosarcoma cancer.
She is survived by her children Sara(Devon),Spencer(Brittany) and Michael. Grandchildren Jaxon, Tahlyn, Willow and Cohen. Parents Doug and Janice Sisson. Sisters Susan(Brad), Aaron(Marcel), brother Stephen and her four nephews.
Sandy was born in Carman and was proudly raised on a farm in the community of St. Daniel. She loved the farm and often helped her father with the bees and cattle. She was involved in the Graysville 4-H Beef Club, baseball, her kids school lunch programs but ultimately her true passion in life was helping other people overcome alcoholism and their addictions. From Manitoba to British Columbia to her outreach across seas, her spirit will live on through the countless people she helped over the 18 years she had sober working in recovery.
The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the doctors at Cancer Care Manitoba, the nurses at Boundary Trails Hospital and her Palliative Care team that all made her final days so peaceful.
