She was in the home she loved and cherished in Cocoa Beach, Florida, surrounded by her loving family.Sandra's life was marked by resilience, love, and quiet strength. She graduated from St. Peter's Catholic School as the class president and academically at the top of her class. Because of her hard work in the classroom, Sandra was offered a scholarship to Duquesne University in Pittsburgh - a testament to her intelligence and ambition.

Together, they built a beautiful life over 61 years of marriage. They started a family rooted in perseverance, love, and kindness. She raised four children, and later welcomed seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Sandra was the steady foundation - the rock upon which her family was built. a constant source of strength, love, and wisdom. Her pride in her family was boundless, and her influence has left an indelible mark on all who knew her.Sandra fought valiantly to the very end, embodying the same pride, strength, and fighting spirit that defined her life. Her influence will live on in all those she touched, and her loss will be deeply felt. Though her passing will be deeply felt by her family, they are profoundly grateful for the time, love, and lessons she shared. They are all better for her presence in their lives, and her memory will be a source of strength for generations to come.Sandra lived with pride, fought with courage, and loved with all her heart - and that is how she will be remembered. While we mourn her loss, we celebrate the incredible life she lived and the eternal mark she left on our hearts.
