Sandra L. Ruggiero

Sandra was born in North Wildwood on August 28th, 1947, daughter of Percy and Eleanor Rutherford. Following a happy childhood with her sisters Susan and Tina in Cape May, Sandra attended Fairleigh Dickinson University and was a member of Phi Zeta Kappa, graduating with a degree in Education. She was an active part of her local community while raising her children in Paramus, NJ, dedicating much of her time to the Parent Teacher Organization and the Paramus Scholarship Show. In later years, Sandra became a major influence in the lives of her grandchildren. She was a loving and doting grandmother, dedicating her life to the needs of those around her. Those who met Sandra were blessed to experience her kind and gentle nature, and she will be missed by all who knew and loved her.

Sandra is survived by her loving daughter, Michele, sons-in-law Padraig and Michael, her grandchildren Jake, Emily and Cecelia, and her nieces and nephew Denise, Sheila and Dylan. She now watches over us with her daughter Jeanette, and her sisters Susan and Tina. Rest in peace, Mom.

The family will receive their relatives and friends at Becker Funeral Home, 219 Kinderkamack Road, Westwood, NJ on Friday, February 19 from 3-7PM. Graveside Service will be held at George Washington Memorial Park, 234 Paramus Road, Paramus, NJ on Saturday, February 20 at 1:30PM
