Sandra Risse Obituary
June 13, 1955 – June 18, 2025
Sandra Risse, of Greenwich, Connecticut, passed away peacefully at Greenwich Hospital on June 18, 2025, with her niece, Cecelia (Andrew), by her side. She was 70 years old.
Born in Orange, New Jersey, on June 13, 1955, Sandra spent most of her life in Greenwich, where she built a life surrounded by family, friends, and the things she loved most. She is survived by four of her beloved sisters, as well as many nieces, nephews, and cherished lifelong friends.
Sandra was preceded in death by her parents, and her sister, Kathy.
She was a devoted Yankees and Raiders fan, a regular at Byram Beach with her two best friends, and an avid collector of sports cards and coins. Sandra lived life her way - with loyalty, humor, and a heart that left a lasting mark on everyone who knew her.
Per Sandra's wishes, there will be no formal services. Instead, her loved ones will gather for a beachside barbecue at Byram Beach, later this season, to celebrate her life in the way she would have wanted - with laughter, sunshine, and good company.
Sandra will be remembered always for her warmth, her wit, and the deep love she carried for her family, her friends, and her favorite places.
