Sandra Lee Mather, 39

Our beloved Sandra Lee Mather, 39, passed away Thursday, July 1, 2010, in the arms of her husband. Sandra had the most beautiful soul. She loved her family and friends and husband most. Negativity was not her vocabulary. She was born in Tennessee and moved to Reno, Nev., after graduation. In Reno, she met and married the love of her life, Tony Mather. The romance began with a single rose delivered each day. The flowers never stopped, nor did their joy. Together they moved to Las Vegas, where Sandra worked as a waitress and bartender, and eventually back to Ronan, where she continued her bartending career at the Second Chance Saloon. Sandra is well known for her gentle demeanor and Southern hospitality. Our bodies may die, but our spirit lives forever. God bless you, Sandra; we love you and will miss you terribly. A graveside memorial service will be held at 2 p.m., Wednesday, July 7, at Glacier Memorial Gardens in Kalispell. Survivors include her husband, Tony Mather; stepson, Aaron Mather; sisters, Lisa Saville and Betty Christenson, and their husbands; Sandra s mother, Shirley Brown; her father, Kenneth Brown; and numerous family and friends. Johnson-Gloschat Funeral Home is caring for the family.
