With profound sadness and heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved Sandy Alexandre, who departed this life unexpectedly on Saturday, October 31, 2026, at the age of 32.
Born on July 14, 1994, in Boston, Massachusetts, Sandy was the cherished daughter of Roselene and Remy Alexandre. She grew up in the Allston and Roslindale neighborhoods of Boston, attending schools in Allston and Northeastern Balfour Academy. She later attended Salem State University and Empire Beauty School. Sandy loved working with her hands and took great pride in pouring her passion and creativity into everything she did.
She is survived by her father, Remy Alexandre, her brother, Renaud Alexandre, her sister-in-law, Rachelle Alexandre, and her loving nephews, Ramses and Roman Alexandre.
She also leaves behind a host of extended family members, dear friends, and loved ones whose lives were made brighter by her presence.
Sandy was a beautiful light in the lives of everyone fortunate enough to know her. A loving daughter, devoted sister, cherished aunt, and loyal friend, she had a way of making those around her feel seen, valued, and loved. Her kindness, generosity, and willingness to show up for others were among the many qualities that made her so special.
To know Sandy was to know someone who loved through her actions. She was someone you could always count on, whether you needed a listening ear, a helping hand, a comforting word, or simply someone to stand beside you. She gave freely of her time, energy, and heart, never hesitating to help someone in need.
One of Sandy's greatest passions was cooking, a gift she lovingly shared with family, friends, and her community. As the founder of Sandz Caribbean Soul, her catering business, Sandy turned her love for food into something meaningful, bringing people together through the flavors and traditions of Caribbean cuisine.
And if you knew Sandy's cooking, you knew about her legendary Rasta Pasta. More than just a signature dish, it was one of the many ways she made people feel loved and cared for. Whether preparing meals for loved ones or sharing her culinary talents through her business, Sandy poured her heart into everything she created. For her, food was never just about feeding people; it was about connection, generosity, and bringing joy to others.
Beyond the kitchen, Sandy had a deep love for God and found happiness in life's simple pleasures. She enjoyed challenging herself with puzzles of 500 pieces or more, attending concerts, exploring new places, and discovering new foods. Her weekends often included trips to Haymarket, where she loved finding great deals on fresh fruits and vegetables. An avid reader, she especially enjoyed mystery and urban fiction novels.
Sandy also had a creative spirit and a remarkable green thumb. She loved building LEGO flower arrangements and caring for plants, finding joy in watching things grow. Her creativity extended to hairstyling, where she was not only talented with her hands but also dedicated to researching hair care and growth techniques to help others. She took genuine pride in sharing her knowledge and helping people, whether through her work or simply because someone needed her.
She had a special love for New York City and dreamed of one day calling it home. Those closest to Sandy will also remember her sense of humor, especially her sarcasm, which was as much a part of her personality as her generous heart. Above all, she treasured her family, particularly her nephews and godchild, whom she loved dearly.
Sandy had a heart big enough to share with the world, and in so many ways, she did. Through her cooking, her creativity, her willingness to help others, and the countless small acts of kindness that defined her, she left a lasting impression on the people whose lives she touched.
Sandy's life, though far too brief, was filled with love and meaningful connections. At just 32 years old, she had so many more memories to make, experiences to enjoy, and moments to share with those who loved her. While her family and friends mourn the years they will not have with her, they will forever treasure the years they were blessed to share.
Family and friends are invited to arrend the viewing hour on Friday November 20, 2026 from 10-11 AM followed by a Religious Service at 11 AM in the Joseph Russo Funeral Home, 814 American Legion Highway, Roslindale, MA.in remembrance and celebration of Sandy's life. Burial wikk be in Oak Lawn Cemetery, 427 Cummins Highway, Roslindale, MA.
Forever in Our Hearts
Sandy's legacy will not be measured by the number of years she lived, but by the love she gave, the lives she touched, and the countless ways she made others feel cared for.
Her presence will be deeply missed, but her love will live on in every shared memory, every family gathering, every meal prepared with love, and every act of kindness inspired by her example.
Though we wish we had more time, we are forever grateful for the time we had.
Rest peacefully, Sandy. You were deeply loved, and you always will be. ??
