Sandra Beninati, of Fitchburg Massachusetts died on March 23, 2019 a hard fought battle with an autoimmune lung disease. She was 51 years old.
Born in Waltham, and raised in Brighton, Sandra eventually found residency in Fitchburg in her later years. She established her recovery and built a sober network in Fitchburg where she learned to live a life free from drugs and alcohol.
Sandra was one of a kind with an unrivaled personality. She enjoyed shopping, doing her nails, listening to 90s classic R&B but most of all, lived to spoil the loves of her life, her grandchildren, Ayla and Harrison Smerlas of Newport, RI.
