Sandra M " Sandy" Herman's Obituary
Sandra M. “Sandy” Herman
November 2, 1935 – July 21, 2025
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Sandra M Herman, affectionately known as Sandy, who departed this life surrounded by her loving family. Born on November 2, 1935, in Cleveland, Ohio, Sandy’s journey took her from the neighborhoods of Youngstown to the warmth and sunshine of South Florida, where she made her home in Boca Raton. She is the daughter of Maurice and Eva Weiner. Sister to Earl Weiner, Joyce Knofsky and Howard Weiner.
Sandy was the beloved wife of Larry Herman, with whom she shared a lifetime of love, partnership, and unwavering devotion. Together, they built a beautiful family, and a legacy rooted in love and laughter. They were married for over 68 years.
She was a devoted mother to four children:
-
Rhona and her husband Peter, proud parents of Arick (married to Shannon), Chad, and Kaela (married to Dan Ellis).
-
Jeff and his wife Zeynep, who together share six wonderful children: Eva (married to Romas Marcin, with son Jax), Sam (married to Annie, with children Ophelia, Arrow, Oakland, and Story), Maccabee, Paisley, Chico, and Zoe.
-
Roger, loving father to Ethan, Peyton, and extended children Luci, Jasmine and Kris.
-Stacey Karpinski, proud mother to Kyle, Zach, and Riley.
Sandy was the heart and soul of her family, always the light of the room, quick with a smile, a word of encouragement, or a moment of laughter. She held steadfast to the belief that family is life’s greatest treasure, and she lived each day in a way that reflected this truth.
Her warmth, her wisdom, and her boundless love will forever remain in the hearts of all who knew her. She was cherished by many and will be missed beyond measure.
A celebration of Sandy’s life will be held Wednesday at 11:00am July 23 at Boynton Chapel, 11115 Jog Rd, Boynton Beach, Fl. 33437. Following will be a gravesite service at Eternal Light Memorial Gardens, 11520 State Road 7, Boynton Beach, FL, 33473. The family will be holding Shiva at the home of Jeff and Zeynep Herman, 5700 Hamilton Way, Boca Raton, FL 33496 from Wednesday through Sunday at 5 to 8pm.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that acts of kindness be extended to others in her honor, just as Sandy did so often and so naturally throughout her life.
