Sandra K. Murray

Sheboygan - Sandra "Sandy" K. Murray, 75, passed away on Tuesday, August 21, 2018 at the Sharon S. Richardson Community Hospice after a courageous two and a half year battle with Merkel cell cancer.

Sandy was born on June 3, 1943 in Sheboygan to the late Elmer and Dorothy Fischer Lunde. She attended local grade schools and graduated from Sheboygan North High School in 1961.

After graduating, Sandy worked at Metropolitan Life Insurance Company until the birth of her children. When her children started school, Sandy worked at Park 'N Shop as department manager for health and beauty aids. She was at Park 'N Shop for 10 years, transitioning to Pick 'N Save where she stayed for 5 years until her retirement in 2009.

She enjoyed cheering on the Packers, Brewers and Bucks, but not as much as she enjoyed cheering on her grandchildren at their various sporting events. Sandy's grandchildren were her life.

Survivors include her sons, Daniel (Teri), Sheboygan, and Dean (Lisa), Sheboygan Falls; her grandchildren, Cole, Cali and Thomas Murray (at home); her step grandchildren, Lindsay Thomack, Sheboygan, Cassie (Jay) Pribek, Sheboygan, and Emily (special friend Sam) Thomack, Milwaukee; her "girls" Shirley, MaryAnn and Peggy, along with her coffee clutch friends, and her friend John, your hugs will be missed.

Sandy touched the lives of all whom she met and will be missed by many.

The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Dr. Mark Bettag and his staff, especially Ellen and Kelly. Thank you to the St. Nicholas Home Health & Hospice staff, and thank you to the nursing staff at the Sharon S. Richardson Community Hospice and a special thank you to Jamie. You are all truly amazing people.

A family memorial service will be held for Sandy.

The Olson Funeral Home & Cremation Service has been entrusted with Sandy's arrangements.

So sorry for your loss of your mother, I was glad to know her back in the bowling years at Charlie Cabaret bowling Alleys on New Jersey avenue in Sheboygan. She was a great lady and fun to be around.

How do you describe a beautiful person that was loving, caring and always welcoming Sandy Murray.

Dan, Dean and family - may the peace of knowing that Sandy is in a better place provide you comfort during this difficult time. I will remember fondly my last conversation with her at Calis grad party and her joy of being there. She was the best.

Lisa and Dean,
It is a mystery why some are taken too young but guess He needed another angel. Be thankful the pain is in the past and she will always be with you. Soon those tears will turn to smiles with memories. Rest In peace

Your mom has a special place in heaven. No matter what pain and ailments she was dealing with she would always ask how my mom was doing. People like your mom dont come around very often. God bless her and your families.
