Yes it was Sandra Bow. It is tragic, and no one wishes this on another person. Many negative comments have been made about this and her murder. I was not a fan of Sandra Bow, but did not wish any of this on her. My condolences to her and her family

This news is VERY disappointing. Ms.Sandra Bow was a great person.I also send my condolences to her family,may God be with you at a time like this.

A shame indeed

Sandra was an amazing person, she was a loyal friend, mentor and an amazing colleague. Such a senseless act by a heartless cold hearted man. I wish all of you could have known Ms. Bow the way I did. She was AMAZING and truly inspirational! I am deeply saddened by the news of her death. I just hope for those of you who were not "fans" of Sandra's that you would remember one thing, she was sent to do a job and had her flaws like the rest of us. All you ever had to do was take the time to know her!

While she didn't deserve to be murdered she certainly made my life miserable for several years

Sandra was a wonderful person. Who will be truly missed. Its really sad that after such a tragic and horrific event a subordinate can only think of self and post such negative words. I see why she may have made your life miserable. As you are a subpar human being.

Are the funeral arrangements published?

First of all she was a great person. If you worked with her and didnt like her is because you were not doing your job! Ms. Bow was on her job and did it right. How dare you say something like that about her. Shows were you heart is. Ms. Bow had a wonderful infectious laugh! You could hear her laugh and know it was her!!! Boy, I am going to miss her!!!! Love you Sandra!!!!

As a group leader and lead group leader, Bow stole so much overtime money from the state, it was pitiful. She treated MSW's like crap, probably out of jealousy, and she was a racist. She was manipulative, fake, rude, sneaky and heartless.

While she wasn't the best person to work with or under, nobody deserves this.

As a person who knew her best.....some of you all are truly sad individuals. I am sure that whatever experience you encountered was definitely deserved!!!

By no means am I the only person who feels this way. There are dozens of us. I would say you were right if there weren't so many of us out here who Sandra bullied, harassed and mistreated. She must have felt powerless as a child and had a horrible upbringing to treat others so dispicably.

Thanks for the Information Pat!

I just learned of this tragedy. My heart sanked as stated she was a beautiful person with a infectious smile. That is terrible for anyone to demean a person at their death, I always say it's something for someone to talk about someone who can refute a statment made about them. I am sure if she was anything but nice it's because pressure of being a manager and you were probably not doing your job. Please donot slander her legacy, it's enough to have lost your loved one this way.

Completely irrelevant. I don't know the person nor will comment about her demeanor, but the pressures of a job is no excuse to turn a person's attitude and character to a negative portrait. It's their general character or it isn't. The "pressures" of a job simply surfaces that character.

A person nice to you but rude to the waiter is still a rude person.

So true, but no one deserves to be shot to death. I remember when she tried to run Harold down in the parking lot. If she was dating a felon, I wonder about how bright she was.
