Sandra, who went by Sandi, was born on September 6, 1945, in Oskaloosa, Iowa as Sandra Jean Lowry. In her teens, Sandi met the love of her life, Robert "Bob" June. They quickly fell in love and were married December 7, 1961. Their love story began with long distance dating and then continued as a newly married couple in Germany, where Bob was stationed. It is Germany where she began her collection of Hummels and elderly people figurines, a collection which continues to fascinate her grandchildren. Three years later, they welcomed their first child, Colleen, followed by her sons, John and Matthew. She enjoyed crafting, listening to old rock n' roll, which she fondly referred to as "moldie oldies," and traveling with her family. After her children left home, Sandi and Bob continued to take frequent and impromptu day trips together. Sandi was a devoted wife, mother, and Nana. She cherished her family and loved spending time with them. She endeavored to make every Christmas special for all her family. Sandi was also an active member of her community. She was heavily involved in the Ladies Ministry at Bible Baptist Church, where she enjoyed the fellowship of her church family. Additionally, she was part of the community service group The Indian Territory Marshals alongside her husband. A special kindness the Marshals service performed every Christmas season was to provide gifts to needy families, something Sandi threw herself into every year. Sandi was preceded in death by her loving husband Bob who named her “Red” as his special term of endearment; her parents, Maxine (Smith) and Elmo Lowry; siblings, Thomas and Claire Lowry, Gerald Lowry, Phyllis (Lowry) and Carroll Zickel, Elaine (Lowry) and Frank Whitten, and Charles and Pat Lowry; nieces and nephews, Billy Lowry, Brian Whitten, Harry Whitten, and Paulette and Robert Wehr.
