Sandy Brown
1946 – 2024
Salina, Utah – On March 30, 2024, our beloved mother, grandmother, sister, neighbor and friend, Sandra Jeanne (Bibbiani) Brown returned to our Heavenly Father and was reunited with her beloved husband, Fred Brown, on the sixteenth anniversary of his passing. Sandy fought a fearless battle with cancer for several years and passed peacefully with her family by her side.
Born in Middletown, CT on October 13, 1946, Sandy grew up in Chester, CT, and graduated with the Class of 1964 from Valley Regional High School, Deep River, CT. She married Neil Johnson in 1968, had two children, Eric and Amy, and later divorced.
She moved to Boulder City, NV in 1980 where she began her career in banking. She married the love of her life, Fred, in July of 1984. They resided in Boulder City for 25 years, enjoying road trips, camping, hiking, visiting national parks and being devoted grandparents.
In 2005, she and Fred moved to Salina, Utah and became members of the LDS church. They were sealed in the Manti LDS Temple on June 6, 2008. Sandy was a devoted member of the church and served the Relief Society and Funeral Luncheon Committee. Fred passed away March 30, 2008.
Sandy was soft spoken with a warm smile and big, beautiful brown eyes; she enjoyed the simple things in life – being with family, having lunch with friends, hiking in the mountains, planting flowers and tending to her “whimsy garden.” She loved her kids and grandkids and would be anywhere at any time, whenever they needed her.
Sandy was the daughter of the late Trent Bibbiani and Jacqueline (Bergonzi) Carini, and the stepdaughter of Judy Bibbiani.
Her memory is carried on through her son, Eric Johnson and daughter, Amy Zambrano, both of Utah, and her grandchildren, Maxwell Dail, Tyler Dail, Tayvea Zambrano and Cole Zambrano. She will be greatly missed by her sisters and brothers, Peter Carini, Richard Bibbiani, Robert (Mary) Bibbiani, Paula Inglis and Jane Bibbiani. Her sisters Barbara Bibbiani and Patricia Hansen predeceased her. She leaves many nieces and nephews who will always affectionately refer to her as “Aunt Sissy.”
Memorial services with cremation remains will be held at the Salina Creek LDS Ward Chapel, 87 South 100 East in Salina on Saturday, April 27 at 11:00 A.M., with luncheon to follow.
