Remembering Sandra A. Temple
Summer Salute Co-Chair | 2003 - 2020
In 2025, we said goodbye to a cherished committee member, Sandra Temple. Sandra provided much of the heart and soul that got Summer Salute started and kept it going strong. She served on the committee from inception, and as a co-chair for 12 years. Her commitment was inspirational and made an indelible mark on Summer Salute that will not be forgotten.
Susie Peoples
North State Bank Loan Servicing Specialist Susie Peoples received the Sandra A. Temple Hospice Hero Award following the June 2025 event. Sadly, Susie passed away shortly after the 2025 Summer Salute event. The award was presented to her family in recognition of her steadfast support.
