Sandy was born on May 28, 1951, in Tyler, MN, to Harold and Mary Ellen (Sullivan) Neyens. She grew up on the family farm near Russell, MN, as one of nine children. Sandy graduated from Russell Public School in 1969 and continued her education at Willmar Vocational Technical School, where she earned her license in Cosmetology.

On December 19, 1970, Sandy was united in marriage to Darwin Caskey at St. Dionysius Catholic Church in Tyler, MN. Their union was blessed with one son. In 1977, Sandy and Darwin moved to Appleton, MN, where Sandy opened her own beauty shop. She practiced cosmetology for over 30 years, forming lasting friendships and becoming a beloved part of the community.

Sandy was the person that could always find the positive in any situation or anyone. She loved to socialize; had a special love for spending time with her grandchildren and attending family gatherings. She also enjoyed shopping, jewelry, traveling, motorcycling, catching up with friends on the phone, and friend to all.

Sandy is survived by her son, Jason Caskey (and Karin Larson) of Dassel, MN; grandson, Cody Caskey of Dassel, MN; and granddaughter, Marissa Caskey of Edina, MN. She is also survived by her siblings: Gene (and Carol) Neyens of Maple Plain; Norma Wuttke of Mound; Joan Isenberg of Brookings, SD; Diane Burckhardt of Russell; and Tom (and Darlene) Neyens of Russell; along with many nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Harold and Mary Ellen Neyens; brothers Daren Neyens and Alan Neyens; sister Patricia Nelson and her husband Dr. George Nelson; and brothers-in-law Loren Wuttke, Gary Isenberg, and Keith Burckhardt.

Sandy’s family would like to thank everyone for their love, support, and kindness during this difficult time. Jason and Karin are especially grateful to her siblings for their unwavering support and care over the past ten years, and to her niece, Alyssa Snyder, whose constant warmth and kindness meant so much to Sandy.
