Sandra Kay (Kenny) Griswold, 59, of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, passed away April 12, 2014, at the Hospice House in Coeur d'Alene after a five year battle with multiple myeloma.

Sandra was born January 15, 1955, in Kalispell, Mont., to William and Loretta (Galland) Kenny. In 1972, when Sandra was 17, her father passed away and the family moved from Montana to Coeur d'Alene. Sandra graduated from Upper Columbia Academy in Spangle, Wash., in 1974, and married Donald Griswold in 1983. Sandra, Don, and Don's two children from his previous marriage, moved to Alaska in 1984 where they lived for the next 20 years. In 2006, Sandra and Don moved back to Coeur d'Alene.

Sandra was a member of the Seventh Day Adventist Church. She enjoyed working with young children, sewing, gardening, and the outdoors. Sandra even learned to enjoy catching fish with Don when they lived in Alaska. Most of all, Sandra enjoyed spending time with her family, and she was very close to all of her nieces and nephews.

Sandra was preceded in death by her husband, Don, and father, William. She is survived by her mother, Loretta Kenny of Coeur d'Alene; sons: Charles Griswold of Fortuna, Calif., and Richard (Milesa) Griswold of West Richland, Wash.; brother, Dennis (Jane) Kenny of Post Falls, Idaho; sister, Colleen (Cameron) Beierle of Chehalis, Wash.; and numerous cousins, nieces, and nephews.
