Dedicated to family and friends, she offered unwavering support and compassion throughout her life. Family remained the cornerstone of Sandy's life, with traditions and loving moments treasured above all. Her positive, fun-loving nature and laughter brightened the lives of those around her.

Sandra is survived by her beloved children, Anthony Coppolino, Cheryl Coppolino-Fontaine, John Coppolino and her dear sister, Patricia Holgate. She is also mourned by several grandchildren, great grandchildren and countless friends, who will forever hold her memory in their hearts.

Sandy was preceded in death by her parents, William and Julia Thornton, her sister Donna Reed, youngest son Michael Coppolino and beloved husband Gioacchino (Jack) Coppolino. Though they have gone, their love and legacy lived on through Sandy, who carried their kindness and strength with her throughout her life.

A person of faith and generosity, she has left a lasting impact on everybody that loved her. Though deeply mourned, Sandy's legacy of love and kindness continues in the hearts of all who knew her.
