Sandra “Sandy” Jane (Paschke) Cooper, 74, of Holly Hill, Florida, passed away peacefully and surrounded by loved ones on August 11, 2021, after a long courageous battle with Ovarian Cancer.
She was born in Ilion, NY, on march 2, 1947, to Jolseph and Thelma Paschke. In 1959, Sandy and her family moved to Forestport, where Sandy graduated from Forestport High School, with the Class of 1965. She also had resided in Jamesville, Chittenango and Pennellville, NY. In 1979, Sandy moved to Daytona Beach, FL, then to Astor, FL, in 1998, and finally to Holly Hill, FL, in 2006.
Sandy loved to sing karaoke and dance. Her interests included gardening, games, cards, Mahjong, painting and crafts. She wanted people to know she was not always perfect and she did not expect others to be. She always made an effort to accept people the way they were and to see the best in them. Sandy had fun and will be remembered by all for always having a smile on her face!
Sandra is survived by her two children and their spouses, Amanda and Ron Adams, Daytona Beach, Andrew and Tracy Duffy, Holly Hill; and her grandchildren, Samantha Adams, Holly Litzinger and Alexa Duffy. She is also survived by her 3 brothers and their wives, Don and Virginia Paschke; Ron and Betty Paschke; and Tim and Sherry Paschke; along with many nieces, nephews, step children, step grandchildren and friends that will miss her dearly.
One of her wishes was “I would like for all my children and grandchildren to try to keep in touch with each other and to remember that I loved them all, each was special to me in some way”
Relatives and friends are invited to attend an informal Memorial Gathering at Beechwood Cemetery, Forestport, at 11:30 A.M. on Monday, July 17, 2023.
