Sandra Elaine Lucarelli, age 77 of Painesville and previously of Twinsburg and Mentor, passed away on August 22, 2025 at Grand River Health and Rehab. She was born on April 30, 1948 in Cleveland to the late William and Dorothy (nee: Donner) Kurtz.

Sandra found great joy tending to her plants and flowers and enjoying a good cup of coffee. She enjoyed sitting on her front steps and talking with her wonderful neighbors. She also loved her grand pups and cat, Maddie, Hattie, and Graycie.

She is survived by her loving and devoted daughter, Carla Lucarelli; and stepdaughter, Paula (Clifford) Thompson. In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her brother, Carson Kurtz; her companion, Mark Coster; and former husband and friend, Lewis Lucarelli.

The family wishes to thank Hospice of the Western Reserve for all of their care and support.
