Sandy (Allen) Hedum, the daughter of Robert and Helen (Moore) Allen, was born October 15, 1952, in Onawa, Iowa. She grew up in the Onawa area. On August 30, 1968, Sandy was united in marriage to Roger Davis. To this union four children were born: Teresa, Penny, Chester and Arthur. The family made their home in the Mapleton and Ute, Iowa area where Sandy was a full-time mom, housewife and laborer on the farm. In 1986, they moved to Castana, Iowa, where she opened a reupholstering business. After her children grew up, Sandy began working as a flagger for road construction which evolved into driving dump trucks for construction companies.
A few years after her first husband passed away, Sandy met and fell in love with, Terrence “Terry” Hedum. Sandy and Terry were united in marriage on February 4, 2011, in LeMars, Iowa. The couple resided in rural Akron, Iowa, where she continued to drive truck until she became too ill to continue working. Sandy built a sunroom on to their house so that she could enjoy the outdoors year round. She loved to read books, put together jigsaw puzzles, crochet, garden, and baby her pets.
Left to cherish her memory include her husband Terrence “Terry” Hedum of Akron, IA; children Teresa (Timothy) Mullen of Kingfisher, OK, Penny (Danny) Rice of Owingsville, KY, Chester Davis (Kerri Gray) of Castana, IA, Arthur (Ashley) Davis of King George, VA, Tina (Greg) Squier of Menifee, CA, Brittany (Luis) Rosales of LeMars, IA and Joshua Hedum of Yankton, SD; grandchildren Samantha Jacoby, Amber Mynarski, Lauren Petee, Sara Folk, Jennifer Frank, Lucy Davis, Dylan Davis, Nicole, Haley and Jeffrey Squier, Ashley, Haley, Madison and Blade Rosales; great-grandchildren Evan Zimmerman, Kynslie Zimmerman, Kysen Folk, Haiden, Brooklyn and Skyler Squier, Aria Harper and Ethan Squier; sisters June Ottoman of Onawa, IA and Joyce Allen of Shenandoah, IA.
