Age 87, formerly of Erin, NY. She was born June 5, 1938 in Elmira, NY; the daughter of the late Merritt and Roseanna (Potter) Rosekrans. Sandra passed peacefully on the morning of Thursday, June 26, 2025.

Sandy was my foster sister. I haven't seen her in years
But have thought of her often. I got to know her after I was an adult. She would still stop and see my Mother when she lived up over Jerusalem hill. My condolences to her family
