Sandra Louise Bodner

Born in Gonzales, Texas the third of four children to Matilda Lippman and Abe Cohen on December 7, 1930.

Pre-deceased by sister Maureen Greenberg, Carol Brin, and her brother Barry Cohen. Sandra is survived by her son and daughter-in-law Mark and Pamela “Jody” Rosen, daughter Karen MacDonald, and son Jody Rosen, four grandchildren, three great-grandchildren and many cousins and extended family members.

Sandra was a fashion model while in her youth and teens, often seen modeling at her Uncle Meyer’s suite at the Apparel Mart. Sandra was a fabulous ballroom dancer and loved great music.

During her years as a member of the Plano Senior Center, she formed many friendships playing cards and mahjong as well as playing weekly with friends from childhood for many years.

Her last 25 years were spent living with her daughter Karen in their home in Plano. Her son Mark and his wife Jody moved in with them to help care for her while her daughter traveled for business.

Sandra adored her kids, but once the first of four grandchildren was born, she loved and doted on them.

Sandra loved to travel and took many cruises - one of her fondest memories was taking an Alaskan cruise and traveling to Europe with her daughter Karen.

A graveside service for Sandra will be held Tuesday, March 7, 2023 at 11:00 AM at Hillcrest Memorial Park, 7405 West Northwest Highway, Dallas, TX 75225. Memorial donations may be made to the Morris Animal Foundation at https://www.morrisanimalfoundation.org.
