Sandy D. Haskins, age 66, went to be with her Lord and Savior on Monday, September 2, 2024 at Deaconess Midtown Hospital in Evansville, Indiana. She was surrounded by her family and listening to her favorite songs as she passed from this life.
Sandy was born in Jasper, Indiana on August 15, 1958 to Alfred E. and Lois J. (Wibbeler) Ruckriegel. She married Rodney D. Haskins on October 24, 1981 at Redeemer Lutheran Church in Jasper, Indiana. They were blessed with almost 43 years of marriage and a wonderful, fulfilling family.
Sandy was a 1976 graduate of Jasper High School. She was a restaurant manager for many years, including the Holiday Inn and the Fiesta, before she became a homemaker and cared for her four growing daughters.
She was a member of First Baptist Church of Jasper.
She enjoyed taking car rides in her convertible with her husband, listening to Jimmy Buffet, talking with friends, traveling to white sands and turquoise waters, being at McCormick’s Creek and, above all, spending time with her grandbabies. Sandy was most at home with a baby in her lap.
