Sandra Rae Prety passed away peacefully at home on Saturday, May 7, 2011, following a long battle with cancer.

Sandi was born May 24, 1952, in Deadwood, S.D. She was the oldest of six children born to Julie and Don Roadifer. She graduated from Richland High School in Richland, Wash., in 1970. After graduation she went on to beauty school and spent a number of years in that profession. She married her "best friend" Paul Prety Jr. on July 12, 1981.

She was preceded in death by her brother, Donnie Roadifer.

She worked various jobs including the CDA Woolworths, Duncan Gardens, Kmart and Post Falls and Lakeland School districts. She was a room-mom for all of her children, a child-care provider, a crafty lady and participant and volunteer at many craft shows and events. But most of all she was a domestic engineer and loving mom and grandma.
