Sandra Masse, age 81, passed away peacefully on Friday, July 25th, surrounded by her loving family. Born on September 11, 1943, she was a lifelong resident of Schenectady. A devoted Catholic, Sandra was also an active member at Our Lady of Mount Carmel.

She was a caring and supportive mother to her three children and their spouses-son Donald Masse and his wife, Tricia Polman, daughter Doreen Snelling and husband Pete, and daughter Barb Devine and husband Sean.

She was a very proud grandmother to her five beautiful grandchildren: Nicholas Snelling, Zachery Snelling, Aidan Devine, Kaylie Masse, and Sean Golden and had a special bond with her niece Linda and her husband Jim.

Outside of church and family, Sandy loved to crochet and crafted beautiful blankets for friends and family. A crossword puzzle dynamo, she loved anything true crime and enjoyed the occasional vodka sour ("hold the fruit").

Strong and steadfast, she had a generosity of spirit and a quiet resilience that inspired those around her.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Alfred and Burdella Provost (Kromp) and her half-sister, Marge Hardy.

Visiting hours will be at Griswold Funeral Home from 5:00pm to 7:00pm on Thursday, July 31st and a Mass of Christian Burial will be held at Our Lady of Mount Carmel on Friday, August 1st at 11:00am.

So sorry for your loss, I just like to say that Sandy was wonderful, thoughtful caring former mother-in-law and step grandmother to my other daughter Brianna who enjoyed very much when Sandy would bring her to church with her on Sunday mornings to greet everyone coming into church and then she would take her to breakfast. She will be missed.
