Sandy was born January 17th, 1939 to Silvia Erkkila Maki and Edward “Smokey” House in Grand Junction, Colorado. Sandy grew up in Grand Junction and Helper, Utah and in the early 1950s she and her family moved to Salt Lake City. She graduated from Olympus High School in 1957 and attended the University of Utah where she was a member of the Alpha Delta Pi sorority.

They were married in the Salt Lake Temple, January 31st, 1959 after Jay had returned from his mission in Germany. They have two children, Michael Niederhauser and Cassandra Singer. In the early years of their marriage Sandy was a stay-at-home mom until she joined the family tradition of working for the railroad. She was in the Roper yard office for 30 years. Upon retiring they moved to Midway, Utah where they became innkeepers at The Blue Boar Inn & Restaurant. They loved new adventures and traveling with their children and grandchildren. She was always ready to try something new. Sandy and Jay traveled to Finland, Nova Scotia, across Europe as well as across the U.S. with memorable visits to the Big Apple. Any place with a beach and the ocean was her favorite. On any given weekend she could be found hiking along the Wasatch Front with the Wasatch Mountain Club. Sandy is survived by her husband Jay Niederhauser, children Michael Niederhauser and Cassandra Singer, her grandchildren Elijah & Bailey Singer as well as her brother, Edward House. A special thanks to her caretaker Dana Rock, for her devotion, love and the endless hours and days she spent to make Sandy as comfortable as possible these last few months.
