Saundra (Sandy) L. Napolet, was a kind, loving, compassionate, giving, proud, and resourceful individual. She confronted insurmountable obstacles to ensure that her family and friends were always cared for. Saundra requested that her body be dedicated to science and therefore even in her passing, she continues to give so that others may learn. Saundra loved to be in the kitchen. She had the unique ability to present a five-course meal in a matter of minutes to anyone who happened to show up at her house. Her pleasure came in the form of happy faces and full bellies. Saundra was a woman with vast experiences who always shared her experiences, not because she was boastful, but so that others could learn life lessons from her experiences.
Saundra had the heart of an angel and was loved by so many.
