Sandra A. Siegert passed away peacefully in her home Sunday, August 16. Sandy, the only child of Irene and Gordon Condie, was born July 22, 1941 in Kemmerer, Wyoming. She was raised in Ephrata, Washington. After graduating from Ephrata High School in 1959, she attended Central Washington University. She eventually went on to earn an Associate’s Degree.
In 1979, she became a friend of Bill W., and at the time of her death, she proudly had 41 years of sobriety. Sandy was the solo female founding member of the Moses Lake Alano Club, which continues to serve recovering alcoholics to this day. Through this program, she met the love of her life, R.H. “Dick” Siegert.
In 1982, Sandy and Dick were married in the gazebo in Leavenworth. They lived in Leavenworth until her death, and shared 38 wonderful years.
Sandy was a fixture of many committees and boards within the Leavenworth community. In 2012, like a revisit to her beauty queen youth, she served as “Royal Lady of the Autumn Leaves.” Sandy loved representing her town! Sandy was the proprietor of Siegert’s Papier Platz for 22 years, as well as in-house accounting for Two Rivers Sand and Gravel for 30 years.
Even though Sandy stood only 4’ 12”, she was a giant of spirit and heart.
Sandy is survived by her husband, Dick, children Bart Flanagan, Jim (Evelyn) Newhouse, Kerry (Alan) Ward, and five granddaughters and one grandson.
There will be no service at this time. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Leavenworth Senior Center in her honor.
