Sandra Yost

Everett and I (Nancy Habben) Pannier -- offer our condolences to Sandy's family. I remember the fun times we had (class of "6l) in High School. Everett and his parents were good friends of Sandy and Marjories's parents as they were growing up. She was a fun and special lady.

Bryan, Michelle, Marge and your families and friends. We are so sorry for your loss. We didn't get to see Sandy often but it was like we were never apart. You could pick right back up and talk about old times and families. Sorry we missed the celebration of life. All the cousins were thinking of you.

I did Sandy's hair years ago, when she was living in Morrison. She always brighten a room. I really enjoyed her. So sorry for her family.

Sorry about your loss. I've been coming to every AADEP meeting for over 20 years. Sandy had been the one constant during that time. I have no recollection of ever seeing her without a smile and she always offered encouragement. I was always amazed at her ability to remember us all by name. Our gatherings won't be the same without her. She was definitely someone special. Again, my condolences.

I will always remember Sandy for the kindness which she showed me when I joined AADEP several years ago as a Fellow. For me and for many others, she was the organization!!

I have been so sad since I heard my friend of 40 plus years has passed. I am so glad she no longer suffers, but will miss her friendship. I was so lucky to have visited her all over the country with her jobs. Also, I had 11 years liv ing in Chicago where we had so much fun and so many adventures. Bryan and Michele it was a pleasure watching you two grow up to be the incredible adults you are. She was so proud of you and her granddaughters. My love to you.

I met Sandy in 2001 when I joined AADEP. She became one of the reasons I kept coming back. Her warm smile, intelligence and flair made me want to attend! She was kind and caring when I went through a serious illness and had to miss an annual conference. Her sense of fun made the conferences special. Sandy, thank you for all you have done for me.

Thank you Sandy for all your help. You were always an encourager, always helpful. You are already missed. God bless you.

Sandy held a special place in the hearts of many, not the least of which was the Australian contingent that attended AADEP conferences over the years. Sandy knew us all and her interest and support for each and every one of us along with her motherly attention to our welfare when far from home was always welcome. I am sure I join my Australian colleagues from AADEP/IAIME in expressing our deepest sorrow at her passing and we would wish that our condolences be conveyed to her family.

Sandy was a very special lady. Organized, thoughtful, generous, dedicated, and authentic are words that come to mind. She will be missed. To her family, so sorry for your loss.

Sandy WAS AADEP to me. I looked forward to her smile and friendship once a year. She remembered everyone's name, even mine. It was a great honor to be of service to her through the years, and she felt the same for all "her doctors." Sandy will always be there somewhere at the yearly meetings...maybe not visibly, but in spirit most certainly. Rest in Peace, Sandy Yost.

Shared by jim adams on 1/4/2017 6:26 PM

I had the great pleasure of knowing Sandy as Executive Director of AADEP / IAIME before and after I was President of AADEP / IAIME. She was always available to help me with my duties as President and always made me look good by her very dedicated and supportive behind the scenes work. AADEP / IAIME would not be were we are today without her. She will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are to her family.

Shared by tony dorto on 1/4/2017 6:13 PM

No matter what the meeting, Sandra would always seek me out to say hello. Names never escaped her. Sandra was instrumental in me attending a meeting to sign up to see the Veterans returning from Afghanistan and Iraq that allowed me to care for over 12,000 soldiers. It was Sandra who the Lord used to let me in to that meeting with the recruiters for the civilian doctors to see the military. All through AADEP. Sandra I hope you love spending eternity with the Lord.

Sandra was my first cousin. I'll never forget her easy laughter, story telling, and making fun of herself. She has made many friends who will never forget her. My condolences to Bryan and Michelle and families on their loss. She will certainly be missed!

Shared by linda rick elijah on 1/1/2017 8:53 PM

I am Sandy's ex-husband. We remained friends over the past 60 years and we talked often. I was unable to attend the recent high school reunion. She promised to give me all the current info on our classmates but never got the opportunity. There are only two women in my life that I loved and respected. One is my mother, Nancy, and the other is Sandy. They both were kind, considerate, generous and laughed at my corny jokes. Thanks for your condolences.

Sandy was truly one of nicest people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing and working with. We knew each other through her work at AADEP, and she was always so welcoming, kind, gracious, and a total class act. She also loved her family deeply. She will be missed by all who knew her. Keeping the family in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.

I had the pleasure of working with Sandy while she was with AADEP and we quickly became close friends. She was a mentor to me professionally and close friend personally. She looked forward to her Holidays with her GrandDaughters and family. I will miss her but happy to see her smile & spirit in Michelle. May she live on in all of our hearts and wishing your family peace and beautiful memories.
