The award-winning writer joined our staff in 2021, but had been a contributor since 2013. She will be deeply missed.
Robb Report
back in 2013, becoming a regular contributor a few years later. As it turned out, her final piece opened the August issue, a vivid description of a discreetly chic Mexico City neighborhood and the local hotel developer who was launching athere. The story was vintage Sandra: well-informed, deeply reported and elegantly written, displaying a curiosity about the world that never flagged.
Indeed, Sandra was widely traveled and, in addition to the US, had lived in England, France and Italy. But she had none of the cynicism or “seen it all” ennui that can infect even the finest writers over time. And she was always ready to help friends and colleagues with travel tips, hotel and restaurant recommendations or airline advice for their next adventures.
An award-winning writer, she once received a commendation from the Duke of Edinburgh at Buckingham Palace. Her book,, about the stories and attractions of numerous small towns or destinations in Texas, was published in two editions. She quickly became a universally liked and respected member of our team, despite working remotely, which meant that some of our staff had only ever met her over Zoom.
One comment in particular sums up what made her special to all of us. “Sandra was an excellent editor and a talented writer. But what I will miss most about her was her ability to marry those skills with unfailing kindness, generosity and grace—no matter the circumstances. That was true every day I worked with her, whether she was editing a seasoned freelancer, a young intern or one of us.”send our deepest condolences to her mother, brother and entire family.
