Sandie Knudsen

January 23, 2017

Sandie Knudsen was predeceased by her parents Betty and Bill McRobbie and brother Jim.

Carrying on her love and lively spirit, Sandie leaves behind her loving husband Ray; daughter Lenita (Clint Norman); sons Erik (Michelle) and Jason (Kristen); grandsons Dustin (Marcella), Daniel, Denzel, William, and Kai; sister Christine Nasea. Sandie’s heart was huge and she also held special places in her heart for her numerous cousins, nieces, nephews, close family friends, and anyone else that she met.

Born and raised in Regina, Sandie married her best friend and love of her life Ray in 1967. Sandie led Ray through 50 years of joyful marriage. They traveled all over the place, returning many times to their favorites places in Albuquerque and Deadwood.

Sandie and Ray’s three children and their growing families were the center of her world. She loved nothing more than doting on them and filling them up with her never-ending supply of homemade goodness.

Always ready for fun, her loud boisterous laugh could be heard for miles. She was always the brightest spark in every room. While Sandie’s sudden passing is shocking and difficult for those who loved her, they are thankful for her healthy life well-lived. They will forever be filled with her love and touched by her sparkle.

A Celebration of Sandie’s Life will be held on Saturday, April 29, 2017 at 2:00 p.m. in the RCMP Heritage Centre, 5907 Dewdney Avenue, Regina, SK.

Family and friends so wishing can make donations, in Sandie’s name, to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at the Regina General Hospital https://www.hrf.sk.ca/Donate or the Heart and Stroke Foundation http://www.heartandstroke.ca/.

Lenita and all of your family. I was just shocked when I saw your Mom's name and smiling face in the paper. I am so deeply sorry.
