Sandra "Sandy" Fitzgerald (Reardon) age 66 of Butler passed, peacefully at home with the comfort of her family by her side, on Monday, August 3, 2015.
She was born in Paterson and raised in Riverdale and Bloomingdale before moving to Butler in 1969. Sandy graduated from the Butler High School with the Class of 1967.
As a young high school student she got a job working at the Bloomingdale Sweet Shop. While in high school she met a cute boy named Dennis Fitzgerald and they fell in love. They got engaged on Valentine’s Day in 1969 and married at Saint Mary’s Church in Pompton Lakes on November 2, 1969 and honeymooned in Bermuda. They returned to Bermuda to celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary.
After high school she worked as a secretary for the DuPont Corporation in Pompton Lakes. She left work when she was just about due to give birth to her first daughter Denise. When her younger daughter Lindsay entered first grade she became a secretary for the Masessa & Cluff Attorneys in Butler. She worked for them for almost thirty years, having stopped earlier this year for health reasons.
Friends and family will remember her as being giving, loving, and always there for them. Christmas Eve at her home was an open invitation to family and friends - everyone got a gift. Many family memories were made at the backyard pool, summer vacations to the Jersey Shore, trips to Disney with her children, and years later with her grandchildren. She especially enjoyed the trips she took with Dennis and dear friends to St. Maarten and Florida over the winter months.
Sandy was the loving wife of forty-six years to Dennis Fitzgerald; devoted mother of Denise Segedin and her husband Brian of Pequannock, and Lindsay Fitzgerald of Butler and her fiancé Tim Hedenhag of Ramsey; cherished grandmother of Meggie, Jennie, and Bradon Segedin; dear sister of David Reardon of Butler, the late Fred Reardon (2003) and the late Michael Reardon (2010). She was also dearly loved by many nieces, nephews, cousins, friends and neighbors.
Memorial donations to the American Brain Tumor Association, 8550 West Bryn Mawr Avenue, Suite 550, Chicago, IL 60631 would be greatly appreciated.
