Sandra Rogge Obituary

Sandy was born in Oshkosh on November 25, 1962, daughter of Dennis and Patricia (Hansen) Schaetzka. She graduated from Ripon High School in 1981. Sandy worked at the Children’s Clinic in Oshkosh, which was her dream job. She then went on to work for Rogge Foods until her retirement.
