Newport Beach resident Sandra Asper was the kind of woman who proofread and approved her own obituary.
“It was very Sandy Asper,” joked her son Bruce Asper, Jr. who wrote it. “At the end, she was making sly jokes at my dad’s expense and ordering us around. Like, literally her involvement in the minutiae in the celebration of life ceremony and the service was hilarious. She told us what songs were going to be played, everything.”
She was also the kind of woman who never one to care for bright colors always wore black and white. She was the kind of woman who wrote stories about her grandchildren, said she once saw a ghost and earned trophies during family ping-pong tournaments. She was the kind of woman who asked to officiate at the wedding of one of her daughters a day after coming home from a hospital with a terminal diagnosis.
