lsandersonSandy V. S. Weisenburger died in Minneapolis from ALS Tuesday, November 4, 2003.
She was born Virtue Victoria Sanderson on October 27, 1930, to Luman and Jenny Sanderson in New Rockford, ND. Sandy is survived by brother-in-law Erwin Weisenburger and five nieces and nephews.
Sandy grew up on a farm near New Rockford where she learned to love animals -- especially cats -- and the meaning of hard work. She earned a degree in Business Administration from Metro State University.
She retired from General Mills in 1995 after 35 years working at different jobs in several departments. In 1997, she returned to General Mills to direct the retiree volunteer program. She was a tireless volunteer most of her life, serving those less fortunate through E.S.A. International, where she held the office of State President and positions on their International Council. She also served on the advisory committee of the Minnesota Office of Citizenship and Volunteer Services for 10 years.
Sandy was Senate District Chairwoman for the Republican Party in the 1980s. She also worked on campaigns for Congressmen Bill Frenzel and Jim Ramstad and State Representative Peggy Leppik.
She loved to travel, touching five continents. Her trips included several to Europe, Southeast Asia, China, Egypt, Turkey, Brazil, and, most recently, Machu Picchu.
Arrangements: Washburn-Mc Reavy Funeral Home. Memorial service: 11:00 a.m. Saturday, November 8, 2003 at the Robbinsdale United Church of Christ, 4200 Lake Road, Robbinsdale, MN.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be sent to the ALS Association, Minnesota Humane Society, or charity of your choice.
