Sandra G. Gifford

Born in New Bedford, she was the daughter of the late William and Gail (Piva) Florek.

Sandra graduated from Bristol Community College with an Associate’s Degree in Business. She worked as an Office Manager for a wholesale company, their family business for many years. She enjoyed tanning on the beach at their family cottage in Mattapoisett, eating out and spending time with friends, and especially spending time with her grandchildren and two dogs, Ollie and Charlie. Sandra will be remembered for her kindness, great sense of humor, her laugh, and her infectious smile will be missed by many. She was a beloved mother, friend, and grandmother.
