Sandra Kolsky's Obituary
Sandra (Fishman) Kolsky, 89, of Swampscott, Massachusetts and Deerfield Beach, Florida
Sandra Fishman Kolsky, 89, of Swampscott, Massachusetts passed away peacefully on February 25, 2021 at Care Dimensions Hospice House in Lincoln.
Sandra was the dear daughter of the late Celia and Harry Fishman, and loving sister of the late Janice and brother-in-law, Harold Shadoff.
Sandra met the love of her life, the late Morty Kolsky, on Lynn Beach at age 12. After graduating from Lynn Classical High School in 1950, Sandra went on to begin her life with her beloved husband, with whom she shared 57 years of marriage.
Sandra was the devoted mother to her son Barry Kolsky, her daughter Leslie Harsip and husband Michael, her son Robert Kolsky and his wife Cynthia and her daughter Robin Dale and her husband Michael.
Sandra’s grandchildren and great grandchildren were her most treasured blessings. She was “Nana” to her grandchildren, Carra, Josh, Hal, Landon, Danielle, Jordan, Justine, Jen, Frank, Renee, Alex, Emily and Harrison and “Bubbe” to her great grandchildren, Max, Talia, Adriana and Maddie.
She was “Auntie Sandra” to Neal, Susan, George, Debbie, Joan and the late Ronnie Shadoff. She was an adored cousin to many.
Sandra maintained and cherished many lifelong friendships.
Upon retiring to Florida, Sandra pursued her passion for fashion by working at a high-end women's clothing boutique, where she befriended many clients and coworkers.
After the passing of her husband, Morty, she met her companion Dick Kroll, who she cherished eight years with before he passed in 2017.
From gambling at the slots, island cruises with her friends or dressing up to socialize with family and friends, Sandra enjoyed life to the fullest. She loved to dance, whether on the Lynn JCC dance floor with Morty in their younger years or at family simchas throughout her life. She took great pleasure in hosting her family for Jewish holidays, and handing down her traditional recipes for all to enjoy.
To know her, was to love her.
