Sandra Levy, age 66, of White Earth, MN, died at home on Friday, October 11, 2024, under the loving care of her family and Hospice of the Red River Valley.

Sandra was the 3rd child born to Edwin and Merceline (Warren) Levy on June 5, 1958, in Fort Hood, TX.  With two military parents, her early years were spent in many different places as the family was stationed in various cities.  When Sandra was 7 years old, they moved back to the White Earth Reservation and made their home near Strawberry Lake.  She attended school in Waubun, MN, and when her mom became ill, Sandra helped with her siblings.  As a young woman, she met the love of her life, David "Goose" Axdahl.  The couple made their home together in White Earth where they raised their family.  Sandra worked at Golden Eagle Bingo Hall from 1991 until 1998 when she began working for the Elderly Nutrition Program in White Earth.  Her declining health forced her into early retirement in 2015.  After 34 years of commitment, her partner, Goose, died in October of 2014 and she remained in their home.

In her younger years, Sandra enjoyed going to the lake and camping with her family.  She loved to play Bingo whenever she could and in later years she liked going for drives and taking in the sights.  She was also a great cook and would often cook for family get-togethers and pow wows.  Sandra had a great big heart and was very caring and generous.  She had an open-door policy at her home and would take in anyone needing a hand and housed many children over the years, treating them as her own.  Her family was her pride and joy, and she was very proud of all her children and grandchildren.  She will be greatly missed by many.

Sandra is survived by four sons: George (Alaina) Axdahl, Francis (Jessica) Axdahl, Duane (Brandi) Axdahl, and Sammuel Axdahl; 13 grandchildren: Cassandra (Sam), Austin (Yvonne), Dylan (Mataya), Chelsea, Natasha, Anna, Brianna, Deyana, Daven, Kyra, Ayanna, Leondra, and Brody; six great-grandchildren: Shaylin, Lila, Chevy, Sam Jr., Austin Jr. and Naquoia; one brother, Mike (Denise) Levy; one sister, Judith Frigen; sister-in-law, Diane Levy; special goddaughter, Angel VanWert; many nieces and nephews and numerous kids she took in over the years.  She was preceded in death by her spouse, David Axdahl, a daughter, Anna Levy, her parents, Edwin and Merceline; bonus mom, Clara Levy, and a brother, Edward Levy.

Blessed be the memory of Sandra Levy.
