Sandi was preceded in death by her brother, Ken. Sandi is survived by her loving husband Freddie, devoted stepchildren Jeanie (Mike), Paul, Joyce (Bill), grandchildren Rachael, Jason, Lani, PJ, and great-grandchildren Jayden, Kaden Bryce, Elliot. Sandi is survived by her parents, Wilbur and Betty Clarke of Los Altos, her siblings Mike (Mary), Bob (Michael), Elaine (Mark), Don (Debi), Barbara (Don), Mark (Megan) and many nieces and nephews.
