Sandra Anne Minisci

WINDSOR, CT - Sandra Anne Minisci, 84, of Windsor, Connecticut
passed away peacefully in her sleep at Windsor Health and Rehabilitation
on June 28, 2020. She was born October 2, 1935, the first
child of Vincent L. and Anne W. Minisci. Besides her parents, Sandra
was pre-deceased by her loving step-mother, Catharine T. Minisci,
and her sister, Brenda Minisci of North Hatfield, MA. She is survived
by her sister, Diana Minisci Appleton, of Windsor, CT, and her niece,
Saarin Appleton of Bloomfield, CT. along with many cousins and
second cousins.

“Sandy” moved to Connecticut from Massachusetts in 1995, living
first at Tracy Manor in West Hartford and then at Windsor Health
and Rehabilitation in Windsor, until the time of her death.
She was a gentle soul who, due to her premature birth, faced
significant challenges during her lifetime. She was educated in
the public school system of New York State and after graduating
high school, attended secretarial school, briefly holding several
secretarial positions in Massachusetts.

In her younger years she loved Greek and Roman mythology and
opera, listening for hours and able to recount the stories of many
classic operas. Her Roman Catholic religious training also held
great importance for her and throughout her life, she often had a
rosary at hand. Her passion for new clothes was well known and
looking through catalogs was a favorite pastime: enumerating the
items she wanted, how many, and in which colors. In her later
years knitting became her passion and she knitted scarves for
everyone who passed her way.

Her family extends very special thanks to Lara, Barb, Stephanie,
Debbie, Lakin, Varsha, “Lolita” and the many other staff of Windsor
Health and Rehabilitation who took such good care of Sandy
all the time she lived there, enjoying and appreciating the wonderful
character she was. Final arrangements were entrusted to Miles
Funeral Home of Holden, Massachusetts.
