Sandy was born on August 9, 1945 in Minneapolis to Juel and Loretta (Sheehy) Shefland, the middle of three children. She graduated from Washburn High School in Minneapolis and then attended Mankato State University. Motivated women from St. Henry introduced her to Karl Germscheid several times at Uncle Mike and Aunt Mary Hunts 25th anniversary reception at the Little Dandy in Le Center. Sandy and Karl were united in marriage on April 8, 1967. They celebrated 54 years of marital bliss this year.

Sandy was very active with the Church of St. Henry, frequently using her baking skills to keep mourners nourished after funerals. She was an exceptional wife, mother, and grandmother. She enjoyed being Karls gopher on the farm, her time with grandkids, shopping, going to the theatre, reading, sewing, playing cards, and traveling to Washington, DC., Ireland, and California. She also enjoyed cruises with her mother, sibling couples, and aunt. She was generous with her time and talents.

Sandy is survived by her husband, Karl Germscheid; her children, Mark Germscheid (Rachel Flynn), Ann (Dan) Dixon, Sharon Budin (Cliff Haefner), and Daniel (Holly) Germscheid; grandchildren, Sam Germscheid, Heather Budin, Tyler Budin, Nora Dixon, Clare Dixon, Brendan Germscheid, Emma Germscheid, Jackson Germscheid, and Mackenzie Decker; sister, Nancy (Wyatt) Moe; brother, John (Mary) Shefland; and many loving nieces and nephews.
