Sandra Lee (Falkner) Adamik, 81, of Sarver, passed away peacefully, Wednesday, July 31, 2024, at 4:50 a.m. surrounded by family.

She was born May 3, 1943, in Allegheny Valley Hospital, Natrona Heights, to the late Harry H. and Rose Marie (Kelly) Falkner. She had lived in the area all of her life.

She served as second assistant to the treasurer in her teen years and leader for the Vacation Bible School and the Women’s Fellowship Day Circle for several years.

Her favorite day of the week was the day she went bowling, and she served as secretary for several years for the Freeport Evening Club and Queen Bee’s bowling leagues. Sandy loved celebrating and preparing her special dinner menus for her family during Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas. She also enjoyed celebrating the many family graduations and birthday parties. Her favorite hobbies were crocheting, sewing, gardening, playing board games with family and building puzzles, and she also had a great love for animals.
