Sandra was born in Saint John on July 4, 1938 to Col. Robert and Louise Waring. She had her first birthday in Westmont and spent most of her childhood in Westside Saint John on the Manawagonish Rd. Sandra had a very comfortable childhood, she took piano music lessons and horseback riding; she was considered Daddy's Little Girl. She spent many summers with her grandparents in Belmont. She was avid animal lover and was a long distance swimmer. Sandra spent a lot of time in Mascarene at a log cabin that her father built in the 1950's which is still in the family and loved by all. She was blessed with 8 children, over the years she worked many jobs, working in hospitals, Barbours, and 4-corners Irving. She took an active part in the Millstream Scouting Movement, in particular the 1st Millstream Beavers. Sandra was accustomed to work; she could do just about anything. She couldn't wait until someone else got around to fixing or repairing things, so she learned to look after things herself. Sandra raised her children, worked on the farm, and found time to be. She volunteered at the schools her children attended throughout the years and baked and cooked for community events. Sandra loved to bake and always made the birthday cakes for her children and grandchildren and also professional wedding cakes. She was notoriously late; she loved upholstering, toll painting, gardening especially her rose bushes, crossword puzzles, sewing, knitting, nature and camping with her children, spending time with family and friends, hunting, fishing, canoeing and breeding miniature poodles. She always made time for a few TV programs: Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy and Hells Kitchen. Sandra returned to Sussex in 1984 where she lived in Millstream surrounded by family and friends.
