On May 31st, Sandra ‘Sandy’ Kay Alford of Cheyenne, left her place on earth to attend a reunion with family and friends that she has missed for so long. She will now be able to dance, play with her grandson and pets, and grow her flower gardens to her hearts content, with a body that is no longer tired and ill.
Sandy was born in Holdrege , NE on Aug 31, 1947 to Orvylle and Fern (Parker) Poppert. She married Dennis Clark with whom she had 3 children. Later, she was married to Larry Alford for 22 yrs, residing in Wheatland, Wyoming. Larry died in January of 2015. She is also preceded by her parents, her brother Orvylle Leroy Poppert and grandson Blake Edward Swayze.
Survivors include 3 children, Bonnie Swayze of Cheyenne; Connie Sedam of Minden NE; and Gary Clark of Ohio; a sister, Althea Hill of Cozad NE; nine grandchildren, and two great grandsons.
Sandy’s wish to be cremated will take place at Wiederspahn-Radomsky Chapel. Private family service will occur at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab, Ut.
