Sandra Lee Staker Behling, our loving wife, mother grandmother, sister, aunt and friend passed away peacefully January 19, 2020, after courageously battling cancer for three and a half years. Born to James and Sally Staker of Elmo, UT on March 3rd, 1960 in Price UT. Raised on her family farm, she was the third of five children where she learned hard work, dedication and to be incredibly resourceful. She married her high school sweetheart James Behling on January 15, 1977 in Elmo, UT; their marriage was later solemnized in the Manti UT Temple.

Sandy loved being the mother of four rowdy boys who always kept her on her toes and a devoted grandmother to ten grandchildren. She lived an active, adventure-seeking life; happiest when boating, being outdoors, teaching children, surrounded by family and getting lost looking for arrowheads. Sandy graduated from Utah State University with her Bachelors in Elementary Education. She was passionate about teaching and taught pre-school for many years. Sandy owned and operated Main Street Market in Ferron with her husband Jim for 13 years. Her service oriented heart offered her to be the most caring, giving, willing to do anything for anyone person. She had a deep desire for learning and an incredible strength in her faith, always proving her strong will and persistence for greater achievement. Sandy had a deep love for the gospel, her testimony and faith never wavered.
