Sandi worked in a variety of places as a server and cook. She was a server at the TA Truckstop at Dallas Pike for many years. She also worked for her sister Judy’s family business, Allum’s Family Restaurant, as a server and a cook. 

In her free time, she enjoyed sitting around a bonfire relaxing with a cold one. She was terrific at crocheting. She could make almost anything imaginable with some yarn and her hook, from Christmas stockings, baby clothes, and booties, to cozy blankets of all sizes. In her younger years, Sandi also enjoyed horseback riding and camping.
