August 14, 1946 – October 14, 2025
Sandra K. Marsh, 79, of Huntley, passed away peacefully on October 14, 2025, surrounded by her loving family.
Born on August 14, 1946, the daughter of Jack and Dorice Buckley, Sandra devoted her life to caring for others. On May 30, 1971, she married the love of her life, Rodger Marsh. She was a true jack of all trades from grocery store and bar owner to building management, hairdresser to working as a CNA, but favorite role of all was being a full time grandma. In each of these roles her compassion and kindness were able to touched countless lives.
Sandra cherished the sunshine and spent as much time as possible outdoors. Her family was her greatest pride and joy. Known for her thoughtfulness, she never missed a birthday or anniversary. Her daily calls- gentle, loving thoughtful-became a part of everyday life for the family. Each check in was a simple yet powerful reminder of how much she cared. Her constant presence was a source of comfort and a true reflection of how deeply she held her family in her heart. She took great pride in her appearance, always leaving the house looking her best, and enjoyed relaxing with a good crime show on television.
Sandra will be remembered as a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and proud great-grandmother whose warmth and love enriched the lives of all who knew her.
She is survived by her daughter, Rogette (Jose) Armijo; her grandchildren, Amanda, Vicky, Hannah, and Joey; her great-grandchildren, London and Austin; and her brothers, Michael and Marty. She was preceded in death by her parents, her beloved husband Rodger, her brothers Randy, Lloyd, and Scott, and her sister Jackie.
A visitation will be held on Sunday, October 26, 2025, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m., followed by a service at 3:00 p.m., all at DeFiore Funeral Home, 10763 Dundee Road, Huntley.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to the Lurie Children's Hospital Ronald McDonald House In honor of Austin Albright at https://ronaldmcdonaldhousechicago.org/lurie-childrens-house/.
