A lifelong resident of Coatesvile, Sandy was a proud member of the Scott Senior High School class of 1965.  She devoted over 30 years to her career at Pepperidge Farm in Downingtown and Denver, PA, where she formed lifelong friendships and earned the admiration of colleagues.

Sandy's zest for life was apparent in everything she did.  She had a passion for shopping and treasured spending time and going out to lunch with her children, grandchildren, family, and friends.  Monthly lunches with her retired Pepperidge Farm colleagues were one of her many joys, as were the road trips she took with her loved ones.  Whether it was a quick local excursion or a longer journey to national treasures across the United States, Sandy was always up for an adventure.

She was a devoted and loving mother to her children, Michael (Diane), Kenneth (Tonia), and Denise (Craig) Ebling, all of Coatesville.  Sandy's proudest role. however, was that of "Mom-Mom" to her 9 grandchildren; Blakely, Jack, Emily, Kenneth Jr., Sage, Addison, Erin, Amanda Cocci (Jake), and Jeanine Ebling.  Her grandchildren were the light of her life, and she cherished every moment spent with them.

Sandy was also preceded in death by her brother, Martin J. Yamshak, who passed away on December 14, 2023, one year ago to the day.

A Woman of warmth, generosity, and boundless love, Sandy will be dearly missed by all who knew her.  her memory will live on in the hearts of her children, grandchildren, extended family, and many friends.
