Sandra Kay Roots

Steve so sorry for the loss of your wife Sandy. I pray that God will give you and your family rest and wrap his arms around you at this trying time of your life...

I loved this lady so much. She helped with everyone. My whole family loved her. She was there for Dorothy when she had heart failure. My mom dying in the hall. She got her a room and helped me get her in literally. On a beautiful note Sandy was amazing. At the old hospital she would to different departments and pass out goodies. She would come in to Telecom and use our phone and say hi also sometimes bring a treat. God bless you Sandy. Time to rest. Tell my mom and husband hi. Love LynnLitwicki and family. Xxxooo

Steve, please accept our condolences. What a special woman she was for Silver Cross, the community, you and your family. We will keep your family in our prayers. God bless. Sandy, rest in peace

My deepest condolences to the entire Roots Family. Sandra's heart was kind and loving. May God bless her with eternal peace.

I was fortunate to work with Sandy at Silver Cross. She was such an amazing nurse and so devoted to the patients and staff. I hope all the happy memories remain in your heart and give you comfort. So sorry for your loss.

Sending my sincere Condolences to all the family..

Sandy, I will always remember how often I called you for advice when my children were sick. I called you "Doctor Sandy". Because of your love of children my family has made a donation in your name to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Sandy was my supervisor for over a year at silver cross. She was always so kind to everyone. My condolences go to her friends and family. You all will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Sandy Roots was just that, the roots of Silver Cross, as the most dedicated person I have ever met!! Sandy was always there to field questions or concerns and never refused a challenge. As she trained me as a House Supervisor, I told her `you could have told me to bring my roller skates to keep up with you!´ She was in constant motion to be sure everyone was covered and cared for!
Your Spirit will be missed by all those who knew you Sandy, and a you´ll be an unimaginable giant to those who hear stories about you; because you truly were unbelievable
To the Roots Family, Thank you for sharing your gift with all of us! She told us about you with all the love and pride in her heart; her grandchildren gave her eyes a special twinkle. We will miss her but know your hearts will never be the same! She will be with you always, as you were with her!!

It is with a very sad heart of the loss of my supervisor Sandy she was an awesome supervisor I will truly miss her she was GREAT NOT ONLY AT her job but with people! Rest in heaven Sandy your work is done here !! To her family and friends I will keep you all in my prayers in the days to come because only GOD can give this kind of peace !

Sandy was one of a kind. Full of energy and limitless dedication. As Dir of the Nursing Supervisors, she worked tirelessly to create access for patients, and in that capacity served the entire community. I worked with her for 15 years- just a portion of her many years at Silver. I´m better for having worked by her side. Enjoy heaven, Sandy. We all will miss you but never forget you.

I am so saddened to learn of Sandy´s sudden passing. We started working 3-11 pediatrics together in the early 70´s, and worked together for many years. I truly enjoyed working with her and valued her friendship. I offer my sincerest sympathies and prayers for her family and coworkers.

My thoughts and prayers are with your family and friends. Sandy was a great nurse, educator, supervisor, and mentor. She always had a smile on her face and an upbeat personality. She will be missed.

She will be sorely missed! Prayer´s & strength to her friends and family. I will always remember her and the help she gave me on the journey to become a nurse as an SNA

She will ALWAYS walk the halls of Silver Cross Hospital. Her zest for life, her smile, always made you feel like you were absolutely the most important person at that moment. Supportive and compassionate--the ideal nurse you ever created. It´s time for her to be house supervisor within the clouds. It´s time to share her with the angels; she´ll fit right in!

Sandy was an amazing person. She was always smiling and had the best personality. I loved working for her as an SNA. I cannot believe she is gone. Silver will not be the same without her. She will definitely be missed.

Sandy was great to work with and I enjoyed her for the 20 years we worked together. She will be missed by everyone that she touched her smile with.

Sandy was such a great house supervisor to me when I became an SNA many moons ago. She was always so kind. I know how much she will be missed!

One of many great memories with this amazing lady! She´s one of the reasons my childhood was filled with great experiences and memories! You truly were one of the most caring and loving humans on the planet! Thank you for all the memories! Love you Aunt Sandy! Kumbaya, my lord, Kumbaya!

I will for sure it´s her she was the best if you had questions she had an answer she always asked us to stay come in early anything we could to get shifts covered. Her guidance for the snas was so awesome everyone looked up to her and everyone always said yes to her, you just couldnt tell her no. R.I.P. Sandy you will be surely missed!
