From Deseret News archives:
Riverton lost great leader in Lloyd
Over the years I worked with Sandra in several capacities. She never saw me as a young teenage boy, but as a dedicated citizen trying to make the community better. To her, age, sex, wealth, talent or any other category made little difference. She cared about character, determination, heart and dedication.
Sandra was a patient woman when it came to people developing themselves. She'd help you; however, she was demanding and determined to not let anyone shirk or get away with doing anything less than their best. She helped people learn to reach a little higher, stretch a little farther, give a little more and care beyond what they knew they could.
Her best teaching method was by modeling the very skills and characteristics she attempted to instill in others. In 12 years, I never saw her take a "day off." Her thoughts about her beloved Riverton were foremost on her mind.
Sandra was a full-time mayor on a part-time salary. In my capacity as her youth mayor which she considered a "Cabinet level" position I was to lead by example. She was on the scene whenever there was a hint of necessity.
Mayor Lloyd was a faithful public servant. She would often be heard saying, "We are here to help citizens. Anything we do has to help citizens, and if we do any more or any less, then we have no right to be here."
Sandra never misused her public trust. She served the residents of Riverton well and faithfully. She was a role-model. She was my friend. She was also one of the leaders I have most admired in life. Riverton residents lost one of their most faithful and most genuinely good leaders. We will be lucky to see a leader of her capacity and quality ever again. Mayor Sandra Lloyd, thank you for your leadership, concern and love.
