Sandra Kay Petty

Sandra died peacefully surrounded by her family at Sanford Medical Center in Sioux Falls, SD on Sunday, November 15, 2015 after a courageous battle with ovarian cancer. Sandy was born in Windom, MN to Jess and Edith (Wessendorf) Penoyer. On June 20th, 1964 Sandy married the love of her life Rex Petty. Throughout their 51 years of marriage, Sandy and Rex would spend hours playing games together. Sandy s favorite game was Yahtzee because she seemed to always win; and yes, she made sure to keep score as to how many games she was ahead of Rex. For as long as people can remember, Sandy did daycare out of her home and loved these children as if they were her own. When her last daycare family "graduated", it was then that Sandy became a Baker at Casey's in Butterfield and boy were her donuts and cookies delicious! Although the men in her life saw them as only dust collectors, Sandy loved to collect and display tins in her home. Prior to her passing, Sandy was actively involved in activities at Highland Baptist Church in St. James, MN. She also enjoyed fishing and camping with her family. Sandy loved nothing more than spending time with her grandchildren and great grandchildren and having her family all together in one place. She is survived by her husband Rex Petty of Butterfield, 2 sons Lowell (Lisa) Petty of Muscatine, IA, Andrew (Katherine) Petty of Odin, grandchildren Stephanie (Leon) Wollschlager of Windom, Logan Petty of Muscatine, IA, Landon Petty of Muscatine, IA, Ethan Petty of Odin and Olivia Petty of Odin, great-grandchildren Damian, Natalia, Jr., & Jacob, and her sister Barb (Leland) Johnson of Mt. Lake. She is preceded in death by her parents and 2 sisters. Visitation 1 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm Friday, November 20, 2015 Sturm Funeral Home, St. James Chapel 906 - 10th Ave. S.
