Sandra was born on July 15, 1942, to William and Bernice (Lenz) Pappas in St. Louis, Missouri. She married Paul Neudecker on May 05, 1961, in Potosi, Missouri.

Sandra took on the role of caregiver for several other family members throughout her life. Sandra was a talented painter and seamstress. She also enjoyed cooking, gardening, and completing crossword puzzles in her spare time. Sandra appreciated the simple things in life and her greatest joys were her children and grandchildren (including the furry ones).
