Born Bronx, New York. Raised her family in Manhattan, lived her last 50 years in New City, NY. B.A. Sargent College of Boston University; M.A. Dance Education, NYU; M.S. Guidance and Counseling, Lehman College; and M.S.W. Social Work, Fordham University. Married to beloved husband David for 64 years until his death in 2016. Leaves children Alison, Jonathan (Toby Mardis) and Evan Katz; cherished granddaughters Jessie, Taylor (Misha Johnson) and Sarah Katz (David Sievers); and great-grandson Linden Honeymeadow. Sandy spent the first half of her career as a dance educator and the latter half in social work at Isabella Geriatric Center. She taught at The Walden School, Bank Street School, Long Island University and for two decades at the Ethical Culture Fieldston School. Sandy was devoted to theater and dance performance and instilled in her family a love of all the arts. She was a voracious reader and an avid letter writer who stayed in touch with friends and family through mailed correspondence throughout her life. She was happiest surrounded by those she loved; may her memory be a blessing for all who knew her.
In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations to Joe Raso Hospice Residence, New City, NY.
Fond memories and expressions of sympathy may be shared at www.MJHigginsNewCity.com for the Katz family.
