Sandra Henricksen, 64, of Kalispell, passed away Sept. 9, 2014, in Kalispell.

Sandra had a colorful personality and a big heart. Life experiences and love softened her edges over time, but one thing that never changed was her unconditional love for others. Forgiveness and encouragement were a part of her character. Her home was considered a sanctuary for many who needed a place of rest. Her entertaining character and loving heart will be missed very much.

“We expect Mom is now riding one of her beloved horses, free from pain and fear. We know she is wishing us all peace and joy, as she has found refuge in her Father’s arms.”

Sandra was preceded in death by her parents, Harry and Harriet (Jacobson) Henricksen.

She is survived by her daughters, Kristin D. and Randy Burns, and Kimberly and Jeff Huhn; sisters Karen and Steve Breck, Ann and Jack Grimshaw, and Kristin Henricksen; grandchildren, Carissa and Kacey Denning, Matthew Burns, Katelyn Matthew and Zack Huhn; and great-grandchild, Miss Bailey Jean. Sandra is also survived by many nieces, nephews and close friends.

Get together at daughter Kristin’s Home in Coram at 3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 13.
