Sondra Sulam Obituary

SULAM--Sondra "Sandi" (nee Cohen), 70 years young, passed away at her home in the Somerset section of Franklin, NJ on Tuesday, June 2, 2009. She was born in Brooklyn, NY and has lived in Somerset for many years. Sandi was an administrator for the Middlesex County College Foundation. She was a very special person with an "electric" personality, who experienced many exciting challenges in life and lived every day with "gusto". Sandi enjoyed multiple interests, including golf, tennis and music and we will all miss her bubbly personality and sharp sense of humor. She was the beloved wife of 49 years to Donald Sulam, proud mother of Marc and Glen, mother-in-law of Debra and cherished grandmother of Luke, Jack and William. Funeral service will be held at Anshe Emeth Temple, 222 Livingston Avenue, New Brunswick, NJ, today, Wednesday, June 3, 2009 at 11am. Entombment will follow at Cedar Park Cemetery, Paramus, NJ. Services are under the direction of the Crabiel Parkwest Funeral Chapel, 239 Livingston Avenue, New Brunswick, NJ. Contributions, in her honor, can be made to The Jewish Communal Fund for The Edna Center, 575 Madison Avenue, Suite #703, New York, NY 10022 or The Martin and Edith Stein Hospice, Attn: Sally Ali, 49 Veronica Avenue, Suite #206, Somerset, NJ 08873, or your favorite charity.

Sandi and I met by chance - an automobile accident that she turned into an opportunity! I was a client of hers and became a friend. She was a lovely person and I looked forward to her visits. We had a hard time staying on the subject of our business and discussed families, faith and many subjects of interest to us both. She was a bright light in this world and her afterglow will not be extinguished so easily.

Dear Don, Glen, Debra and Marc,
I only heard my mom speak the best about her sorority sister, Sandi. I only met her a couple of times when I was little and once a few years ago. But we sort of went through our illnesses together via the internet. She read all of my blog entries which updated everyone on my status. With each one came a lovely, encouraging response from Sandi. What little I know of her, I will always remember.
May she rest in peace.
My condolences,
Elizabeth
