Sandra was born May 1st 1954, in Worland, Wyoming to Alex Eugene Eckhardt and Bonnie Anita (Noble) Eckhardt Lindsey.
Sandra was a little ranch girl and her father’s first hired hand on their Hidden Valley Farm outside of Shoshoni.
Sandra was a 1972 Lander Valley High School graduate, where soon after she married her high school sweetheart Mervin James Hedges (Jim) on July 13, 1973. In the late 80’s Sandy and Jim homesteaded a piece of property north of Lander where they raised sheep, cows, chickens and horses and had 47 beautiful years together.
Sandra and Jim began building their family in December of 1991, when Hart James Hedges arrived. Sandra loved nothing more in the world than her precious baby boy who was the keeper of the legos.
Sandra was an active member of the Fremont County Cattlewomen for several years. She enjoyed sewing, ceramics and beating everyone at card games. Sandra loved Christmas and buying gifts for all around. Cooking was her passion, and there was never an empty chair at the dinner table and everyone was sent home with the leftovers. She enjoyed babies and the spring time and all the neighborhood kids knew that Sandy had a big bag of candy in her car at all times.
