A private celebration of life is planned with immediate family. In lieu of gifts or flowers, we ask that you donate to the charity of your choosing in Sandy’s name that brings you joy in your life. The family would like to thank the nursing staff on the 6th floor units at Gundersen Lutheran Hospital, as well as Dr. Bassing and Dr. Hudnall, who all provided such amazing care to Sandy.
A women of kindness, joy and integrity. A great neighbor and friend. A wonderful cook and hostess. One of her trademarks was to be gathered around her table enjoying a cup of coffee and her famous desserts. She will be missed by many. My deepest sympathies to the entire Roubik family. Rest in Peace sweet friend.
To Sandy’s family, I’m so very saddened with this news. Both my sister and I so glad to have Jack and Sandy as next door neighbors and friends. We were glad to celebrate good times. I especially remember celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary with the neighbors. It was a blessing to be invited to sit at the table and enjoyed a home cooked meal! A faithful servant to her family and friends. May the many memories give us all comfort and peace.
Sympathy and prayers to the family. Sandy was a delightful neighbor for many years. May she rest in peace.
Jake and family. So sorry for your loss
Sandy was an amazing person
Sending prayers
