Sondra "Sandy" Rubenstein (nee Stein) born on April 1, 1932, in Brooklyn, New York, passed away peacefully on January 18, 2026. She was a beautiful person, a radiant soul who embodied love and compassion throughout her life. Her generous spirit won her an abundance of friends over the years, and her unwavering dedication to her family was a testament to the nurturing heart within her.

She is survived by her devoted sons, Martin Rubenstein and Barry (Sally) Rubenstein, whose lives she enriched with her boundless love and wisdom. As a grandmother, she took immense pride in her granddaughter, Sara (Michael) Miller, as well as the joy brought forth by her great-granddaughters, Hailey and Leah, who will forever carry her memory in their hearts.

Sandy enjoyed many years and activities at Delaire Landing and most recently at Brightview Senior Community.

Sandy was predeceased by her beloved husband, Charles Rubenstein, and her loving partner, Sol Zubris and her brother Norman (Hellen) Stein. Their memories live on in the stories, laughter, and profound impact they shared throughout their lives together.
