Sandra J. Solomon

SCHENECTADY - It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of a cherished wife, devoted mother, and loving grandmother, Sandra J. Solomon. She peacefully departed this world surrounded by her husband and daughters on September 28, 2023, at 77 years old.

Born in Schenectady, Sandra (Sandy) was predeceased by her parents, Loweta and Francis Cote. She leaves behind a legacy of love and family including her devoted and loving husband, Thomas (Tom), their adorable, well-behaved dog, Lacy, and their three daughters: Sondra (Greg), Tracy (Aric), and Kim, as well as extended family and friends. Sandy graduated from Notre Dame High School and lived her full life in Rotterdam, New York.

As a proud grandma, Sandy welcomed seven precious grandchildren into her life: Amber, Justin (Sondra & Greg), Tyler, Cody (Kim), Nolan, Cameron, and Kiernan (Tracy & Aric). Just shy of a year ago, she was blessed with the role of great grandma to her great-grandson, Aidan (Tyler and Amelia).

Sandy was known for her easy-going, gentle nature and patience. For six decades, she shared a love with her husband, Tom, that grew stronger each year. One of their favorite annual traditions was camping at Fish Creek with  friends each July, creating lasting memories. They also enjoyed going for long rides and exploring new places, especially with their RV.

Professionally, Sandy started her career with the NYS Department of Motor Vehicles, spent most of her work life as a typesetter at Mary Banks Typing, and retired from Living Resources.

Sandy's life was a testament to love, kindness, selflessness, and devotion. She touched the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing her, leaving behind beautiful memories. Her spirit will live on in the hearts of her family and friends.

In honoring her memory, the family kindly requests that donations be made to the Alzheimer’s Association.

A celebration of Sandra Solomon's life will be held on Wednesday, October 11, 2023, at 11 am in DeMarco-Stone Funeral Home, Rotterdam.  All friends and family are welcome to join in commemorating her life and visiting with her family prior to her service from 10-11 am.

May she rest in eternal peace, surrounded by the love she gave and the memories she created.
