Sandra Alterman Obituary
She is survived by her devoted husband, David; her loving twin sister, Susan; her niece, Jenny; and her adored great-niece and great-nephews, Darien, Olivia, and Logan.
Sandy dedicated many years to her career as an executive secretary, culminating in her role as the secretary to the CEO of a major multinational corporation. Beyond her professional accomplishments, Sandy was known for her warm heart, deep friendships, and adventurous spirit. She embraced the joys of travel, calling herself the "Cruise Queen" after sailing on more than 40 cruises. Music was the soundtrack of her life-she sang with a cover band in the 1970s and 1980s and shared her voice with the folk group at St. Rose of Lima Church in Baltimore, Maryland.
Sandy's love, laughter, and unwavering faith will be forever remembered by those who knew and loved her."

My deepest sympathies to Susan, David and the rest of her family. It was always a pleasure seeing Sandy at the planning meetings for our reunions, the actual reunions and the many luncheons we attended. Susan, thank you for bringing Sandy to these functions when she could no longer drive herself. She was always upbeat and had kind words for everyone. She will surely be missed. May she rest in peace .

So deeply sorry.. Sandy was a wonderful lady with a kind heart and beautiful smile. She shared one of her famous recipes with me 20 years or so ago and every time I use it I think of her. Rest in peace Sandy, thoughts and prayers to all.
