She is predeceased by her brother, Steven P. Stodulski. Sandy also leaves behind many friends in the animal community.
Sandra graduated from Grafton High School and later received a bachelor’s degree from Worcester State University. She worked as an ABA therapist for children and was also an avid dog trainer before retiring due to her health. Sandra was an animal lover since birth, bringing home every stray, whether ducks, birds, rabbits, dogs, or other critters. She transferred that love of animals to her daughter. Together, she and Nikkie enjoyed their time at 4-H, dog camps, and going to fairs and rabbit shows. Going to the beach was a favorite pastime along with her love of all things Disney. Sandra was a kind and loving person who battled through years of debilitating health with a smile and good nature.
