Sandra Jean "Sandi" Pribyl, 74 years of age, of Holdrege, Nebraska, passed away on Monday, June 22, 2026, at Phelps Memorial Health Center in Holdrege. Sandi was born in Holdrege, on March 21, 1952, one of four children, born to Thomas J. and LeMeta (Snodgrass) Donadio. She received her education from Holdrege Public Schools.

On June 19, 1970, shortly after graduation, Sandi was united in marriage to the love of her life, Donald P. "Joe" Pribyl.  The couple made their home in Holdrege, where Sandi focused on raising their four children:  Donald, Jr., Michelle, Thomas, and Daniel.

Sandi enjoyed browsing department stores and attending auctions, always on the lookout for the next "good buy!" She loved watching cooking and competition shows, especially Bar Rescue and Chopped. In her free time, she enjoyed putting together puzzles and playing BINGO regularly at the Eagles Club and ELKS in Holdrege and Kearney.
