It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Sandra "Sandie" Marie Martin on August 29, 2025. She was born in Lemay on November 22, 1950. Sandie shared a loving companionship of 48 years with David Bowles, whose presence brought her great happiness throughout her life.

She was the beloved daughter of Robert and Mary Tiepelman. She was a devoted sister to Debbie (Joe) Sellers, Sharon (Bob) Hovanec, Cheryl (Gary) Cole, and Robin (Bob) Vagen.

She was a cherished aunt to Rachel (Josh) Ivester, Britney (Scott) Moore, Tom Cole, Molly (Chuck) Clark, and Olivia (Travis) Tyler, and a proud great-aunt to Gavin, Cole, Brandon, Carson, Channing, Garrett, Cooper, and Aurora.

Sandie is survived by Dave, her sisters, nieces, nephew, great-niece, and great-nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents.

Sandie was a sassy and beautiful soul. Her love of adventure, games, and holiday accessories made her the life of every gathering. Her vivacious spirit, paired with her warmth and humor, will be deeply missed by her family and lifelong friends.

A celebration of life will be held at the American Legion- Post 111 on October 11, 2025, from 2 PM-6PM.
