Sandra Cristina Obituary

Sandra A. Cristina 73

DUDLEY - It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Sandra A. Cristina 73 of 66 Mason Rd. Dudley. She leaves her loving husband Donald Cristina of 24 years. Donald was the main caretaker for Sandra in the final months of her life and for that her children will be forever grateful. Sandra was predeceased by her first son Paul Kubiak Jr. Sandra had two other sons, Timothy Kubiak and Kerry Kubiak and his wife Lisa, a daughter Jeana Spahl and her husband Erik all of Dudley. She had 2 grandchildren, Connor and Nicholas Spahl as well as 8 step grandchildren.

Sandra was born to James and Phyllis Scurry in Saint John's, Newfoundland, Canada. She had 9 brothers and sisters as well as many nieces and nephews. She moved to the United States in 1965. She worked for many years as the Executive Director for the Dudley Housing Authority. She then moved on to Bay Path Regional Technical High School, from where she retired.

Sandra was extremely outgoing with a wonderful sense of humor and a quick wit. She loved to travel (especially with her Newfie sisters) and has seen many parts of the world. She loved a hot cup of tea while doing a crossword puzzle. She loved her family and her friends and will be deeply missed by anyone that knew her. We love you Mom. Services are private at the convenience of the family. Condolences can be left at www.bartelfuneralhome.com

My sincere condolences to you all ~ I know words still leave your hearts empty and hurting and I am truly sorry. One thing I can say as anyone can attest to is that Sandy LOVED her FAMILY and "Her Donny". She would always start a sentence with, Well "My Donny" .... we always smiled. Although we hadn't gotten together in the past 2 or 3 years, Our ladies get togethers were so much fun with Sandy always right to the point, lots of laughs, lots of cussing and venting and several cocktails. We were actually just organizing a get together when I shared the news with one of our group. She will be missed.
