Resident of Hollister, CA
Sandra Anne Zanoni passed away at age 71 at home on June 15, 2022.
Sandy was born on Aug. 30, 1950 in Chicago to Arthur and Dolores Mitchell. She graduated in 1969 from Mount Assisi Academy in Lemont, Illinois. On Sept. 1, 1973, she married Leonard Zanoni in Illinois and shortly thereafter moved to the South Bay area, California, where they started their family.
Sandy is survived by her loving husband of 48 years; three children and their spouses, Stephen (Karla), Jennifer Reese (David), Martin (Dana), six grandchildren, Hunter, Joseph, Serafina, Annabella, Eliana, and Giana; brother, Wayne Mitchell (Marita); and many extended family members and friends. She is reunited with her third child, Jeffrey, who passed away shortly after birth.
Sandy devoted her life to her family and home. She enjoyed all forms of art and music, was President of her high school glee club, and was an accomplished florist having owned a flower shop in Morgan Hill for a brief time while raising three children. Sandy was a cat lover, enjoyed the Hawaiian beaches, and was an avid fan of the San Jose Sharks. She was considered a "second mom" to many of her children's friends. Fun-loving and full of life, she enjoyed the company of her family and friends, and was known for her timely sense of humor and beautiful smile.
Sandy's legacy will live on through her husband, children, and grandchildren and will be dearly missed by her loved ones. Sandy, Mom, and Grammie/Mimi will remain in our hearts forever.
