Her Story
More Than a
Board Member — Family
Sandy and Rexanna were best friends long before they were colleagues in a cause. They met in their senior year of high school, became instant friends, and roomed together at Baylor University, where Sandy earned her Bachelor of Science in Education and met the love of her life, David.
They traveled together, took annual beach trips — they were college roommates. They were family.
— On Sandy & Rexanna's friendship
Sandy served as Vice President of Rexanna's Foundation from its founding until she passed away in January 2023. She was a tireless advocate — traveling alongside Executive Director Lisa Spain to LungCAN conferences, learning the latest in research, and building national collaborations that would give Rexanna's Foundation a platform far beyond Austin.
In every room she entered, Sandy made every acquaintance feel like her best friend. She spread laughter and light, carried a resolute faith, and brought an affinity for the biggest and brightest of everything — clothing, jewelry, décor, and life itself. Her availability to fill a need knew no bounds.
