SANDRA MARIE PACY

PACY, Sandra Marie (Tucci) Age 78, of Bridgewater, Massachusetts, died at home, with her family, on April 7, 2024. She courageously confronted Parkinson's Disease for twelve years. Sandy was born on June 27 1945 to Ralph and Helvi (Heikkinen) Tucci in Waltham, Massachusetts. She spent her first 12 years in Waltham and moved to Littleton, Massachusetts in 1957, where she met lifelong friends. After graduating from Littleton High School in 1963, Sandy enrolled at the University of Massachusetts (Amherst), graduating in 1967 with a Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences. Sandy had several careers that emphasized caring for others, including professions in social work, health education and medical services. Beyond her professional care for others, she advocated for peace by helping organize the first Earth Day in Buffalo, New York. Sandy enjoyed the outdoors and nature and was especially fond of oceans and lakes. She spent her summers at her cottage on North Pond in Bryant Pond, Maine and enjoyed skiing and hiking the trails and mountains of Maine and New Hampshire. A lifelong music enthusiast, Sandy acquired a sophisticated taste ranging from Classical, Opera, Folk to Rock. She played guitar and would get lost in the music. But more than this, Sandy loved spending time and caring for her family and friends. Here, her kindness and joy emerged and she was at one with life and love. Her grandchildren were the center of her world in her last years. She will be greatly missed by many people. Sandy leaves her husband of 54 years, Ronald W. Pacy; her daughter, Alyssa K. Pacy, son-in-law Guillaume Adelmant; and grandchildren, Emil and Noémie Adelmant-Pacy. She is survived by her niece, Katie Tucci of Washington, DC; and her aunt, Laura Heikkinen of South Paris, Maine. Her brother, Robert J. Tucci, died in 2008. She also leaves her in-laws, Marjorie Trebendis, Anna Boccio, Carol Anne Reilly and John Pacy; and many loving nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Services were held in Littleton, on Saturday, April 13, 2024, followed by Burial at Westlawn Cemetery. Donations in her memory may be made to The Michael J. Fox Foundation, for Parkinson's Research, Grand Central Station, P.O. Box 4777, New York, NY 10163 or The Parkinson's Foundation, 1359 Broadway, Ste. 1509, New York, NY 10018.
