Sandra "Sandy" Ann Madere Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Sandra “Sandy” Ann Madere passed away after a brief illness on Tuesday, March 20, 2018, at 70 years young. She was a native of New Orleans and a resident of Jefferson Parish for 57 years. Beloved daughter of the late Louis A. Madere, Sr. and Rita Mary Montz Madere. Sister of Louis A. Madere, Jr. Sister-in-law of Sherry Reed. Aunt of Monica M. Sullivan (Todd) and the late Scott L. Madere. Great-aunt of Hannah M., Rachel L. and Molly K. Sullivan. Also survived is her cherished 13 year old Siamese cat Muffin. A graduate from the class of ‘67 Riverdale High School and Soule´ College of Business. Employed at numerous departments of Ochsner for 35 years then began enjoying her retirement. Sandy was quite an adventurous lady. She climbed the stairs of castles in Germany, dined at sidewalk cafes near Eiffel tower in Paris, flew in a helicopter over the volcanoes in Hawaii and shook the hand of Mickey Mouse in Disney World. She even tapped her toes a time or two to the bands in Branson, MO and Nashville, TN. But her most favorite time was being on a cruise or taking the occasional trip to the Gulf Coast to one of the casinos, hoping to win the big jackpot one day. She was a member of AARP chapter 4273, The Red Hat Society, The Fun Group where they would go visit the retirees, St. Agnes Altar Society and finally the Wednesday Lunch Bunch. How quickly time went by. All the friends she has made through her life would be the first to tell you Sandy had a heart of gold. She would offer you the shirt of her back if she felt you needed it more. She would be the first one to raise her hand to volunteer to help if she could. Relatives and friends are invited to attend the Memorial Service at L. A. Muhleisen & Son Funeral Home, 2607 Williams Blvd, Kenner on Saturday, March 24, 2018 at 12:00 p.m. Visitation from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. To view or sign the online guest book, please visit www.muhleisen.com and share a tribute or fun story about Sandy on facebook of Louie or Sherry.
