Sandra & Farrel were married for 58 years.

She was loved by all and enjoyed photography, swimming, golf, needlepoint & crochet. She was a buyer for Town & Country Boutique, and she enjoyed traveling domestically & internationally. She shared her experiences with her family at her elegant and delicious dinners and parties. She was an avid reader and history buff, and she shared her knowledge of Louisiana history through her guided tours at the Musée Conti Wax Museum. She was an active member of the New Orleans Tourist Association.

Later in life, she & Farrel Sr. spent time in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where they enjoyed walks, golf, and cross country skiing. Sandra spent many lovely seasons with friends and family in Wyoming.

She is survived by her three children: Allison Weil Ambort, Katherine Weil Spurlock (Lawrence Victor Spurlock), Farrel Arnold Weil Jr., her four grandchildren: Willis Law Spurlock, Sandra Blaine Spurlock, and Adelaide Simone Ambort, Madeleine Claire Ambort, and their father (Steven Neal Ambort).

She was preceded in death by her parents, Rachel Labovitz Stein and Abe Stein.

We are all so blessed to have had such a wonderful mom, and for all the beautiful moments we shared with her, we have the fondest memories of times spent together and are grateful for the precious moments we shared. Mom will always be with us in our hearts and souls, and we know she can rest in peace.
