Sandra graduated from Divine Savior High School of Milwaukee in 1956.

On May 26, 1961 she married Joseph Edward Goudreau.

With a rich understanding of language and numerics, Sandra’s career as a loan specialist at Farmers Home Administration lasted over 30 years.

A proud and devout member of St. Joseph’s Catholic Parish in Perkins, Sandra sang in the choir, taught catechism, read as a lecturer during Mass, was on the parish council, and volunteered on the finance committee.

Sandra had a deep love for animals, domestic and wild alike, though labrador retrievers seemed to be her favorite. This noteworthy passion continues within the family.

Sandra kept herself busy taking daily walks, reading abundantly, and swimming laps at the YMCA. She had a love for music and an affinity for writing. Always providing guidance, her constant nurturing and vast knowledge will be remembered.

“It’s not over for me, I am only changing addresses.”
