The Sunshine Sirens members profile: Queen Sandi (Sandi)


QUEEN SANDI.

 

Sandi moved to the Sunshine Coast six years ago and joined Red Hats in time to help put on “The Best Giggle” ever.

Sandi was born in Coogee NSW and wanted to be a librarian when she left school, of course this didn't happen  and she has worked in payroll for nearly 40 years now. Her love of reading covers many genres Murder, Thriller, Mystery and she is a founding member of the Reading Divas Book Club.

 

The E S & A Bank employed her when she was 14 and 9 months (what were they thinking?) and she stayed with them until she married.  Sandi has 2 daughters, 5 grandchildren and 1 great granddaughter, Evie Rose.

 

Since moving to Queensland she has completed a Justice of the Peace course and passed the exam. Her previous 20 years  as a JP in NSW were not recognised in Queensland.

 

Ask Sandi if she has enough hats and fascinators and the answer will be “of course not”. A glue gun, nappy pins and red flowers will see her trying to make something new to wear half an hour before she leaves the house.

 

Her favourite motto is “Just do it”, and organising is something she lists as good at.

 

In another life Sandi s fantasy was to be a Western Saloon Dance Hall Girl.

 

Hawaii and New York are favourite holiday places and we all know she is going to New York for a hair cut in May.

 

In 2014 she would like to learn how to read a crochet pattern...

 

Something you don't know about her....in the 1960's Sandi skated in the Roller Derby at Sydney Stadium.

That's our Queen .
