Sandra Mae Pearson was born September 28, 1951 to parents, Gerald & Della Pearson. She grew up in the Weber area and graduated from Cambridge High School in 1969. After completing the Nursing Program at Anoka Ramsey College in 1971, she worked as an LPN at Memorial Hospital in Cambridge until retirement.
Sandra enjoyed an active social life with her many life-long friends. She also enjoyed travel and taking pictures of people and places she’d been. She was the best aunt ever for her niece and nephews, and her ten grand nieces and nephews. Sandra had a very kind heart and lived her life to the fullest with faith, family and friends. She will be dearly missed.
Sandra passed away Wednesday, June 4, 2025 at the age of 73 years. She survived a battle with cancer 20 years ago, but it returned recently and quickly took her. Sandra was preceded in death by her parents.
She is survived by her sister, Cindy (Dave) Gunderson; niece, Soo Peterson; nephews, Dan and Aaron Gunderson; and other relatives and friends.
The family would like to thank all the friends and relatives who visited her, and St. Croix Hospice for their services.
Sandy was always such a kind and caring presence at the hospital. I don’t ever recall seeing her getting mad about anything! She was simply a calm and loving person. My sympathy to her family.
She did so much for my family and can never thank her enough for everything she did for us and for going to track meats or choir concerts or band concerts or proms or graduation parties or football games no matter what she was there she will be super and dearly missed say hi to Ruth and my grand parents for me until we meet again
Sandy was a quiet, gentle, caring Nurse. She always put her patients first. Praying for her family to take some solace knowing she is in heaven and at peace.
Sandy was a gentle soul and I was blessed to work with both, she and her Mother.
Sandy will be fondly remembered, not only as a coworker, but a faithful woman of God. I first met her when my son was born in 1973 at Memorial Hospital in Cambridge, she was one of the nurses who took care of me. A few years later I was hired and had the pleasure of working with Sandy for over 40 years! I will cherish the memories. 💕
Sandy was such a sweet, caring nurse. Loved working with her for many years. She made work very pleasant and she had a heart of gold. Fly high dear lady.
Sandy was one of the nicest and God loving woman you would have ever met. Such a great lady and will be missed by so many. Such a caring nurse.. love you Sandy until we meet again. 💕
Sandy was like an Aunt to me and my siblings. Always at our home for birthdays, holidays and all of life’s big events! Kind and loving with a beautiful wit! I proudly became an LPN just like her when I grew up. Peace and love be with her family and dear friends, especially her best friend Becky, my other “Auntie”. Rest Easy Auntie Sandy.
Sandy was a lovely person and a sunny “older” cousin! Seeing her at the hospital when my parents were there was always such a comfort!
Fly high my friend! Wait for me at the gate!
Hard to say so long for a while to someone you have known most of your life ..
So many memories, Bible teaching and counseling at Trout Lake Camp, working with the youth at Elim, babysitting for ( her with David and Joy. Me for Brian and Lori)
Movies , plays, fun and laughter at Laux’s so many memories.
Some years of not spending a lot of time but always knowing the other was a phone call away.
I’ll miss my friend!

Had the privilege of working with Sandy. She was always compassionate and true. Her sweet smile and calming presence was always such a treat for both me and our patients. There is no doubt she is now with our Lord. I was truly blessed to have known her. Prayers for her family during this difficult time.
I’ve known Sandy since the 70’s. One of my good memories is when Memorial Hospital offered trips to their employees ar discounted rates. Sandy, myself and 4 others went to Hawaii. There was a store across the parking lot from our hotel. Someone had left a shopping cart next to the hotel so Sandy and I put Sandy Sjodin, another LPN, in the cart and pushed her across the parking lot. We got some pretty funny looks! I have lots of fun memories from that trip. Sandy was always smiling and so sweet no matter where you ran into her. Was sad to hear of her passing but know she’s resting in the arms of our Heavenly Father.
Sandy wii be missed dearly she ne er missed a gathering of events I worked with her for many years at hospital she was kind and very compassionate nurse never seen her angry sympathy to family. Lloyd singh
Sandy meant loyalty,kindness, God fearing and caring. Enjoy eternity you earned it. Lynette Anderson
Sandy was an amazing baby sitter.
Kind, funny. Always up for playing games, and adventures. Joy and I, and often Lori and Brian, were so fortunate to have her watching over us.
Truly, she was guardian angel, in the flesh.
The same goes for Becky LaBeau.
Hi Becky. Since I won’t be able to attend the funeral, I think a confession is in order.
Almost 50 years ago, during the GMG sleepover at Elim (was Sandy also a chaperon?), when the entire church speaker system blared the rock group Kiss’s song: “I want to rock and roll all night. And party every day…,” you, and Pastor Lawson were right.
I was the one who did it. With a little support from Joe Droogsma. I picked the lock to the narthex. Turned on the sound board. Put my cassette in, and pushed play.
“David Bradley! I know it’s you.” You shouted into the pitch dark sanctuary. “Turn this off!”
Hiding under the pews, Joe and I did all we could to keep from laughing.
Then when pastor Lawson pulled up in his car, as Joe and I were almost home walking our bikes, and rolled down his window, his face red with anger, he said: “How’d you do it, Bradley?” I lied. I felt bad for lying. Then quickly convinced myself I couldn’t go back. Till now.
Today, I hope you are the one who’s laughing. Along with our dear angel of a friend, Sandy.
With love, and a hug, till next time, David
