She was born to Kathleen Dolores Gori (Wirtel) and Peter John Gori on Scott Air Force Base in Belleville, Illinois. Step- daughter to Pauletta Ruth Gori and niece to Regina Ann Scherer. Sandra graduated from Roosevelt High School in St. Louis Missouri and was active in Narcotics Anonymous for 21 years and clean and sober for close to 30 years. Sandra was a believer in Native American practices and practiced her faith often. Sandra can be remembered by her “off-kilter” sense of humor and stubbornness. Sandra joins her parents and brother Steven Andrew Gori. She is survived by her daughter, Katherine Johnson and estranged son, Jason Alsup. Native American Prayer I give you this, one though to keep. I am with you still, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sunlight on the ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning’s hush, I am the swift uplifting rush… Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not think of me as gone-- I am with you still In each new dawn. Acknowledgements: The family of Sandra Alsup wish to extend immense and sincere thanks, appreciation, and utmost deepest gratitude for the numerous expressions of sympathy, condolences, and acts of kindness during this time of grief and sorrow."
