Sandra Kay (Bunn) Elwell 1947 - 2020

Sandra Kay (Bunn) Elwell passed from her earthly life on Monday, July 13, 2020. She was 72 years old.

“Sandy” was born September 13, 1947, to Ben and Viola Bunn and spent her youth growing up on the family farm near Dayton, Oregon. She attended Lafayette Grade School, Dayton Grade School and Dayton High School, graduating in 1965. After graduation, she attended Walla Walla College in Washington state.
