She preferred to be called Sondi and was a 4th-generation lifelong Stratford resident. She was a graduate of Stratford High School and studied at the Rittners School of Floral Design in Boston. Professionally she was most proud of her time as a flight attendant with American Airlines during the late '60s. She had a deep creative streak as florist and a hairdresser. She also expressed her creativity in baking, making Christmas ornaments, and was particularly fond of quilting and was a member Trumbull Peace Maker Quilt Guild. She volunteered her time at Bridgeport Hospital Surgery Recovery. She loved animals and had a special bond with her late dog, Hanna, who she trained to be a service dog and visited nursing home residents. In addition to her beloved husband of 57 years, she is survived by her sons, Bryan Oross (Jana) and Glenn Oross, and her grandson, Myles Oross.

Mike ,
Sandy was always a gracious thoughtful friend and neighbor and am sure a devoted mother and spouse .
The Anderson family was across the street and in those days neighbors knew each other well.
She always had a smile and welcoming attitude . Good Bless you and your family .

Dear Mike, Glenn and Brian - my sincere sympathy to you all at Sondi's passing. We go back to being friends at Short Beach where both our parents had cottages and had much Summer fun during those years. Connecting again when you were the parents and I was the teacher at Center School was wonderful!
I feel your pain and peace at this time..... Blessings to you!
