Caroline Frances Sandow of Florida was born on June 6, 1963, in Bronx, New York. She left us to be with the Lord on Sunday, May 30, 2010, after a courageous battle with cancer at the age of 46.
She was raised in Staten Island, New York, attended St. Patrick's Elementary School, Countess Moore High School, and DeVry University in New Jersey.
As a Data Systems Analyst, she is a former 15-year employee of Siemens (Nixdorf), and spent the rest of career working for the County and City Offices of Florida.
She is survived by her parents, Stephen and Josephine Sandow; a sister, Michelle (Sandow) Pajewski and her husband, Thomas Pajewski; their four children, Christine, Michael, Katherine, Hannah; uncle Donald and aunt Barbara Sandow, Wendy (Sandow) Gleason and her husband, Steve Gleason, and daughter, Riley; Donald J.

I worked with Caroline in NJ. Even in the professional environment she laughed often, and her laughter was like the joyful tinkling of little crystal bells. She had many friends in NJ and I am sure those of us who fell out of touch with her after she moved to FL will be very sad to hear of her passing. To her family and friends I offer my very heartfelt condolences.

I met Caroline at the Cenacle Sisters, several years ago. She was a very sweet person. She loved coming to the Cenacle and being with the sisters. She was very interesting to listen to.She could talk about anything.I have enjoyed knowing her the short time that I did. She will be dearly missed. R.I.P. Caroline.

We were Caroline's Radiation Therapists and treated her everyday at the Med Plaza. We really got to know what a beautiful loving caring person Caroline was. She was truly an inspiration to us all and will be missed.

I worked with Caroline at the Alachua County Clerk of Court for several years before she went to the city. You have never seen such a focused person when working, but talk to her about biking, parks, people, flowers, or archery and she could talk for hours with a passion you would not believe.
Caroline loved the Lord and I have no doubt that she is with Him now. May she and her family have the peace of heart, mind and spirit we all seek and the Blessings of our Lord.
