Saundra graduated from Asbury Park High School and received an associates degree from the University of Miami. Sandy was a true "shore girl" her entire life. She loved living at the beach. Sandy had a special love for gardening, eating out, broadway shows, playing cards, backgammon, mahjong and watching "Wheel of Fortune". Most of all, she loved her family and friends. Her favorite vacations were visiting her son Tom in Hawaii and daughter Heidi in California.
Saundra was a loving mother, grand mother, great grandmother, sister, aunt, spouse and friend. She was fortunate to fulfill her dream of seeing the birth of her great grand daughter Rosie - which touched her deeply.
Mrs. Drazin was preceded in death by her loving husband Robert of 25 years in February 1980; and her partner Milton Lewis of 17 years in February 2003.
Saundra is survived by her son Mr. Richard Drazin; daughter Mrs. Heidi Andrews and her husband Chris; son Dr. Thomas Drazin; granddaughter Mrs. Emily Reisman and her husband Brian; great-granddaughter Rosie Reisman; Milton's daughter Wendy Lewis; Milton's son Jordan Lewis; as well as many nieces and nephews, each and all whom she loved dearly and were incredibly special to her.
