Sandra A. Michaelson ‘SanDee’ was adopted by Dave and Louise Coolidge on July 19, 1946. She was raised in McCook, Nebraska and has no siblings. Her family consists of relatives and friends who have sweetened her life and had a molding of who SanDee is.

SanDee embraced life each and every day with a flourish and zest that could be seen in her colorful stilettos and her incredible voice.

SanDee is preceded in death by Dave and Louise Coolidge, her first husband Bill Watson, and a host of friends (angels) that still surround her. Currently she is married to Bruce ‘Mike’ Michaelson, who is as tall as SanDee is short. They have spent many happy years together.

SanDee asks you to remember she will always be present in your life with a laugh, a smile, high heels and love. She loves all you angels.

A memorial has been established in SanDee’s name at Nebraska Wesleyan University, specifically for the vocal music program. Contributions can be mailed to: Advancement Office, Nebraska Wesleyan University, 5000 St. Paul Avenue, Lincoln, NE 68504, or, visit https://www.nebrwesleyan.edu/give.

At SanDee’s request, no services are planned at this time.
