She married her high school sweetheart Michael H. Cox on May 20, 1967. Sandra came from a large extended family and grew up with many of her cousins, considering them to be some of her best friends.

The family ranch was Sandra’s “happy place” and she loved being there with her children, grandchildren, extended family and friends. Many holidays and long weekends were spent there enjoying the outdoors and being together with her loved ones.


Sandra was an active member of Holy Angels Catholic Church and a former board member for the Shumla School. She delivered meals to the elderly, loved baseball, working Sudoku puzzles, and made the absolute best Sour Cream Pound Cakes.

She is preceded in death by her parents Leroy and Katherine Zuberbueler Kesler and her sister Sue Ann Tuttlebee.
