 </figure>Sandi (as most people knew her) Compton was born July 9, 1936, in 
Goodland, Kansas, and passed away May 22, 2021, in Hill City, where she 
lived with her husband Harold Compton for most of their lives. They had
 two children, Lee Allen and Robin Lea who both live in Arizona with 
their spouses. She was preceded in death by her mother, father, sister 
and brother.
 She had a very full life which began in Goodland, where she was born
 and raised. Sandi met the love of her life Harold. They were married 
May 29, 1954, in Goodland. They moved to Hill City December 20, 1956, 
where they raised their family. In addition to her own children, Sandi 
babysat in Hill City for many years. She took in ironing for others to 
lighten their load. She worked briefly at the Texaco station. Then 
Sandi moved on to a career she was the proudest of with the U.S. Postal 
Service beginning as a Mail Carrier in Hill City. She was promoted to 
the level of Postmaster for the town of Palco, retiring in 2003. Sandi 
was very involved with the Presbyterian Church in many ways from keeping
 books to anything else that was needed. She had other interests, as 
well.
 As a lady of many talents, she had an avid interest in sports, both 
playing softball and becoming the first female certified umpire for 
Kansas. With a husband who is a very active hunter and fisherman she 
happily joined him in those activities and loved it, whether hunting in 
Kansas or fishing in Alaska. Again, she was quick to help others by 
cleaning pheasants when asked. She also loved to go swimming with “her 
girls” in her later years. If someone asked, she was there to lend a 
hand always! Whether a ride to the doctor, grocery store, or anywhere 
else, she was there. 
 As she moves on with her angel wings to meet her family and friends 
who preceded her to heaven, she leaves behind four grandchildren – Wendy
 (Matthew), Alexa, Brian (Kaylin), Daniel (Anna); seven great 
grandchildren – Matt (Jayten), Austin, Anthony, Danica, Brysen, Bentley;
 one great-great-grandson – Brixton from her granddaughter Katelyn who 
preceded her to heaven. There are so many other family members she 
dearly loved who will miss her always.
 The family wants to thank the many who have stopped by with a hug or
 food, phoned to chat, and sent prayers and support. It was her wish 
for a quiet departure to meet those who await her; therefore a memorial 
service is not planned.
