Born Sandra Delores Kliewer, on March 10, 1954 in Brandon, Manitoba, she was predeceased by her mother, Susanna Kliewer (nee Reimer), father Otto Kliewer, and many aunts and uncles. Sandie will be lovingly remembered by her sister Percy, brothers Ray (Jan) and Cliff. Also remembering her are nieces and nephew: Ian (Laurie, Payton and Isaac), Heather (John), Wendy (Shane) -- all of British Columbia along with aunts and uncles and cousins from the Winnipeg and Steinbach areas. Sandie also had a special "family of friends" in the Winnipeg area where she grew up and lived most of her life. Sandie pursued a career in accounting and worked over 30 years for Quest Residential Real Estate. Sandie loved travelling with family and friends and spending time sharing and celebrating all of life's events. She made all occasions special. Sandie's passion was spending time with her four-legged companions which included daily walks at the park. She was a stalwart volunteer with the Humane Society as she sheltered small animals regularly over the years in her home. Rosie was her latest adopted companion. Special thanks to the staff of the emergency units at Johnson Memorial Hospital in Gimli and the Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg, as well as the Cardiac Sciences Program at St. Boniface Hospital for their care for Sandie. A memorial service for Sandra Delores Kliewer is set for Saturday, April 25 from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Mennonite Heritage Village in Steinbach, Manitoba.

Sandie became a dear friend of mine in a short period of time as we met and walked our dogs together at the dog park. Rosie and Aslan loved playing together which brought about our meeting regularly throughout the week. I always appreciated Sandie's patience with my many questions about owning a dog as our family were first time dog owners. She would always have a few special treats (some were even home-made) for Aslan and we always laughed together that Sandie was Aslan's favorite! Sandie had such a kind and caring heart and was so in love with Rosie. Rosie was very blest when Sandie decided to adopt her as her own & always took her shopping for new treats and "clothes". Aslan still looks for Rosie when we go to the dog park and I miss the times of sharing that Sandie and I enjoyed as we walked together. - Posted by: Janet Wilson (Friend) on: Mar 23, 2015

I met Sandie and her family when my family moved to Fort Rouge in the late '60s. We lived a couple of houses away from them on Garwood Ave. Back then she had a little back and white dog she called Daisy. Percy had moved to an apartment on Cumberland Ave but there was still Sandie, Ray, Clifford (Buddy) and their Mom living there - we had some really good times and have fond memories. Sandy worked for Paul Saltel's real estate business for some years and I met up with her again in the mid '80s when my husband and I bought our house through Paul. I met up with her again a year ago while shopping and we had a good chat - she looked the same as always with her long hair. I always felt Sandie was the "glue" that kept her family close. My condolences to Sandie's family. - Posted by: Gail Peltz (Waltham) (Old Neighbour from Garwood Avenue) on: Mar 20, 2015

I met Sandie in July 2013 at an "adoption fair" in Winnipeg for Hulls Haven Border Collie Rescue. She seemed to be observing everything and not engaging anyone in particular. I approached her and she told me she was thinking about "fostering". When I had to find a washroom, she was there and took care of Walter, my foster dog. Although we were complete strangers, Sandie took my phone number and a friendship was born. That November, Hulls Haven brought in a black mongrel. I decided to adopt him and Sandie took Walter as her foster dog. She loved to share Walter's quirks and progress. My conversations with Sandie revealed her kind and clever personality. We found we had a lot in common. When she choose to foster Rosie, she thought she would like to join us at the Winnipeg Beach Campgrounds (a safe area for the dogs). On warmer Sundays, Sandie would meet me at the campgrounds and then we would have lunch and a visit. She liked to bring homemade soup to share. When Sandie adopted Rosie, a dog that, according to her really needed rescue, I was happy for Rosie but ecstatic for Sandie. Sandie thought she rescued Rosie, but I saw changes in Sandie. She was more relaxed, contented and on a mission to heal all of Rosies' issues. After lunch at my place, we spent the afternoon in intimate conversations on a wide range of topics; one of which was how Percy cared for her during previous surgeries. I am going to miss her a lot. We agreed to meet at the campgrounds at 10 am. Another friend and her dog joined us for the first half hour. Sandie and I walked and she talked about Rosie, her plans for obedience school and workshops given for the owner on solving the barking dog problem. How she had fought not falling in love with "the foster dog" and lost. Rosie was very different from Mandy. We left the campgrounds at about 11:30, had lunch including the couscous balls Sandie had brought. We were too full for pie and decided - maybe later. The afternoon discussion was varied. Sandie was especially talkative; she told me about her brother's battle with cancer; how Percy cared for her during some past surgeries (not what, just the care and her reaction to morphine); travel; school essays about what one did for summer holidays; taking early CPP; a little about sibling relationships... Sandie was having a great afternoon. - Posted by: Sherolyn Morrisey (Freind) on: Mar 18, 2015
