The late Isaac and Sandi Juneby

Today we remember Sandra “Sandi” Leider Juneby, 1936 – 2019. We here at Doyon Foundation send our thoughts and prayers to the family of Sandi Juneby on her recent passing.

Sandi holds a special place in the hearts of all of us at the Foundation, not only for her unflagging commitment to education, but also for granting us her blessing to share her late husband Isaac Juneby’s Hän language lessons.

When the lessons were published in May 2019, we paid her a visit to give her a demonstration of the online lessons. It was incredible to witness her joy when she heard his voice fill the room. Sandi greatly desired that the Hän language continue to be passed on, and she was overjoyed that young learners would be able to access Isaac’s lessons online.

We will always remember her cheerful spirit; she did indeed “glow with the gold of sunshine.”
