Sandra Jensen Burton, our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, teacher and friend passed away surrounded by her family on February 24, 2022 after a short, but courageous battle with liver cancer.

She loved to play the piano, sew, visit relatives in Summit County, play with her Chihuahua, Tito and go on camping trips. She graduated from Olympus High School and earned her bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education from Utah State University. Education was very important to her, and it encompassed all parts of her life. She was a dedicated educator in Jordan School District at East Midvale, Oquirrh, and primarily Westvale Elementaries. She taught and inspired countless young people. She had a special ability to connect with and help students succeed including her own granddaughter, Miranda, who she taught in 5th grade. She also won an Outstanding Educator Award in 2017. Sandra lived, attended church, and worked in the same community for over 30 years. She is fondly remembered by so many who she associated with during that time.
