She attended the University of Florida where she met the love of her life, Joe Tolle, Jr. and they were married in 1958 and settled in the Melbourne area.

Together Joe and Sandy raised three children and she stayed home with them while Joe owned and ran Sebastian River Drugs and later Bay Street Pharmacy in Sebastian.

Always an involved mom, Sandy was a youth soccer coach and active member of the soccer booster club.

After her children were grown and out of the home, Sandy returned to the University of Central Florida to complete a Bachelor of Legal Studies.
