Sandra “Sandy” Sue West, 66, a lifelong resident of Wyoming, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family Sunday, Sept. 6, 2026 at her home.

Sandy was born May 12, 1960, in Worland, Wyoming, and was a 54-year resident of Sweetwater County and former resident of Lander and Green River.

A graduate of Green River High School in 1978, Sandy dedicated her life to being a loving homemaker. She found joy and creativity in the simple pleasures of life: reading avidly, gardening, crafting, camping, and spending time outdoors. She took great pride and happiness in caring for her family, inspiring them with her artistic and nurturing spirit. Sandy was a very spiritual person and always a bright light in everyone’s life.

Sandy is survived by her devoted partner, John Venta of Rock Springs, Wyoming, and her four beloved daughters: Niki Lee West and Britni Rae West of Green River, Wyoming; Sadie Ann Walker and husband Thomas of Colorado Springs, Colorado; and Gina Maria Venta of Rock Springs, Wyoming. She will also be dearly missed by her two brothers, Doug Kindel of Rock Springs, Wyoming, and Danny Kindel and his wife TeNeah of Jacksonville, Florida. Sandy was a proud grandmother to her four grandchildren: Brianna Grenier, Taylor Grenier, Nevaeh McKenzie, and Brooklynn Purdy, and a cherished great-grandmother to Adrian Gallarza. Her extended family, including several uncles, aunts, cousins, nieces, and her beloved dog Sky, will also mourn her loss.

Sandy was preceded in death by her parents, Melvin “Bud” Lloyd Kindel and Marlene Ann Kindel, as well as her grandparents Melvin and Myrtle Kindel, and Joseph and Elsie Huber.

Cremation will take place. A celebration of life will be conducted at 5-8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 9, 2026 at the Fraternal Order of Eagles Aerie 2350, 88 N 2nd E Street, Green River, Wyoming.

It will be a time to share memories, offer comfort, and cherish the legacy she leaves behind.
