Alexandra (Sandy) lived a vibrant and spirited life defined by her love of family, passion for sports, and appreciation for music. She embraced every moment with enthusiasm and joy, truly living life to the fullest. A devoted Florida Gators fan, she rarely missed a chance to cheer on her team and share that excitement with others.
Alexandra was known for her free spirit and independent nature.
She lived life on her own terms, inspiring those around her with authenticity, strength, and zest for adventure. Her laughter, energy, and love for life will be deeply missed by all who knew her. She is lovingly survived by her son Brent Badzinski and daughter-in-law Debbie Badzinski, grandsons Rylee Swider and Reed Swider, sister Natalie Goeden and brother-in-law Ted, and brother Al Ciolkosz, along with many extended family who will cherish her memory.
A celebratory Mass will be held at St. Luke’s Catholic Church, Barefoot Bay, Florida, on April 18, 2026 at 11:00am where family and friends will gather to honor and remember Alexandra’s life.
In lieu of flowers, the family encourages donations to the following organizations to honor Alexandra and her legacy of love, generosity and compassion:
H.A.L.O. No Kill Shelter: www.HALORescueFl.org
