| Media Notes | Engquist, Sandi (Sprague) Sandra Bell Engquist went to Heaven on May 18, 2018, after spending 80 years on Earth. Sandi thought love was unlimited and was not keen on imposing conditions. Her kindness left us each with the feeling that we were her favorite. Everyone who knew Sandi was better because of it. Sandi was born in Bronxville, New York on July 21, 1937. Her Mom, Margaret Bell, would become an intrepid Minneapolis travel agent while her Dad, Martin McLean Jr., struggled with addiction and mental illness, leaving the young family. Sandi was surrounded by extended family in Connecticut while her Mom built airplanes. In 1947, Margo married Jack Sprague at Plymouth Congregational Church and Jack adopted Sandi, accounting for her first name change. While attending Minneapolis West High School, Sandi met Ted Kobs on a blind date. Ted and Sandi got married and had four children, each a favorite, raised on Ted's modest teacher salary. Sandi was active at All Saints Lutheran Church, oversaw food, music lessons, and camping adventures, and found time to lead a Camp Fire Girls group. She struggled with depression and, with the help and support of medical providers and her family, overcame that illness. After a long and successful marriage, Sandi was on her own, attending Normandale Community College and doing graphic design. In 1982, Sandi married another Nordeast boy, Mel Engquist. Mel and Sandi were great together, and she cherished his wonderful children. Sandi was a casual gardener, preferring sunflowers to Mel's favorite, tulips. Sandi had an amazing mind with unlimited storage for stories, facts, and anything quirky. She was thrilled to be a contestant on Jeopardy and loved watching the show with April and George. Most any quiz show, especially on the radio, elder hostel, local theatre, historical society or bible study group had Sandi's full attention. Sandi was a fixture at the front desk of First Lutheran Church in Columbia Heights, smiling, laughing and welcoming |
