Sandra (Sandy) Gail Dryden passed away peacefully with family by her
side on Sunday October 3, 2021 in Lake Havasu City. Sandy was born
October 26, 1943 in St. Louis, MO to Louis J. and Josephine Wells.

Sandy and her husband of 57 years, Glen, moved to Lake Havasu City in
1969 with their five children: Cary, Brian, Deanna, Renee, and Kelly.
Sandy and Glen were very active in the Lake Havasu Boat and Ski Club.
She enjoyed racing in the powderpuff class, of which she relished in
several victories. She loved that the whole family participated in ski
racing and boating, as well as other outdoor activities. Had you have
participated in Polar Bear Day in the 70's and early 80's, you might
well remember having a cup of her famous beef soup, a favorite by all!
Those who came to visit on any Sunday morning were sure to be served her
famous Biscuits and Gravy. She would call family and friends to come
join as she couldn't make a small batch.

Those who knew Sandy know that she was a beautiful person, both inside
and out. Her infectious smile exemplified the amazing and fun-loving
woman that she was. She loved going on cruises with family and friends
to various locations. You never had to ask her twice if she wanted to
join you on a voyage. Sandy and Glen, having retired in November 2020,
had plans to travel to see the sights of America, something they loved
to do.

Sandy is survived by her husband, Glen, children Brian (Sandra), Deanna
(Mac), Renee (Jaime), and Kelly, sisters Gina and Terry and brother
Shane, along with 11 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren. She was
preceded in death by her son Cary, granddaughter Breanna, and brother
Bennie.

Family meant everything to her, and she will be deeply missed by all. A
celebration of life is planned for January 8, 2022. More details to
follow.
