Psalms 27:1 Sandra K Williams Peterson, daughter of the late Norman Williams Sr. and Catherine Williams, was born January 18, 1949 in Indianapolis, IN. Sandra received her elementary education while attending Indianapolis Public School #42 and Shortridge High School in Indianapolis, IN. After high school, Sandra worked for the US Postal Service and Indiana Bell Phone Company while living in Indianapolis. In 1981, Sandra moved her and her 2 daughters, Mananna (Mimi) and Nakitia (Kitia) to Seaside, CA to be closer to her brother, Norman Williams, Jr. She then began working for a company called Cambridge International where she met some of her long time friends. In 1985 Sandra met John "Pete" Peterson with whom they were joined in matrimony on May 28, 2004. During their 30 year courtship you would never find one without the other.
