Sandra (“Sandy”) T. Belisle (nee Schwartzenberg), 88, of Grosse Pointe Park, Michigan, passed away on December 5, 2022. She was born on March 13, 1934 in Mt. Clemens to Ida Kurz and Frank Schwartzenberg.
Sandra is predeceased by her son, Randy Fox, whom she cherished. Sandra is survived by her devoted and beloved daughter and best friend, Stacy Belisle; dearest brother, Michael Bauer; loving sister-in-law, Karen Schaefer; and dedicated former husband, Ray Belisle.
Sandra maintained a lifelong interest in the world around her. Her perceptions and rich sense of humor ensured interesting and enjoyable conversation. In addition to being an avid reader and accomplished chef and baker, Sandy treasured watching films and attending theater with her daughter. Her passion and talent for gardening shone through in the beautiful yards she created and lovingly tended throughout her life. Sandra was also a committed caretaker, as was clearly evident within her family, through her more than 20 years of work as a group home manager, and in her dedicated support of animals and animal rescue. She adopted many pets throughout her life, with cats being her clear favorite. Although of quiet demeanor, Sandy deeply impacted all who witnessed her love of people, animals, artistic pursuits, and of the world in general. Our lives are richer for having known Sandy. She will be greatly missed.
The family will hold a private memorial. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Sandy's honor to Michigan Humane, Paws for Life Rescue, or All About Animals Rescue.
