Sandra T. Colvin

BURLINGTON - Sandra T. Colvin (Sandy), age 76, of Burlington, WI formerly of Rockton, IL and New Bedford, MA passed away on Friday June 16th, 2017, in the comfort of her home. She was born on May 11, 1941, to the late Francisco and Ermelinda Ormonde. On June 2nd, 1962, she married her soul mate John Colvin and they just celebrated 55 wonderful years together. When she was a secretary with the United States Air Force at Otis Air Force base she met her beloved husband, John. Upon moving to Illinois, she became a real estate agent and later worked as an airport security officer in Wisconsin. Sandy had the ability to light up a room with her optimism and cheerful spirit. She always put others before herself and her selfless nature touched many lives. She will always be remembered for her vibrant smile, loving heart and ability to make everyone laugh.  She valued family deeply and was happiest when surrounded by family and friends. Sandy was deeply rooted in her faith and put all of her trust in the Lord until the very end. She gained her strength through constant prayer and rejuvenated her spirit by attending mass regularly at St. Charles Catholic Church. One of her favorite pastimes was volunteering and participating in activities at the Burlington Senior Center where she and John were recently honored as Seniors of the Year for their volunteer efforts. Sandy enjoyed putting puzzles together, playing games, relaxing at the beach and of course playing the slots. Most important to her was spending time with her family; whether it be back home in Massachusetts, here in the Midwest, or attending her grandchildren’s activities. Sandy will be dearly missed by her loving husband John, daughter Tiffanie (husband, Dennis) Butler of Chatham, IL, son Eric (wife, Katie) of Rockton IL and her adoring grandchildren Alexander, Samuel, Abigail, Taylor, Kaitlyn, Cassidy, Emily, Zack, Christian and Anna, as well as sister Patricia Taylor, nieces Robin David, and Kelly Noble, and many other relatives and friends. A celebration of Sandy’s life will be held Friday, June 23rd at St. Charles Church, 440 Kendall St., Burlington, WI 53105. Visitation will be from 9:30-10:30am. At 10:30am there will be a time of sharing, where people can share their favorite memories of Sandy with her family. At 11:00am there will be memorial mass. Memorials can be made to the Burlington Senior Center, 201 N Main St. Burlington, WI 53105 in Sandy’s honor.
