Incredibly sad news, as Sandy Quinlan passsed away from cancer on December 27.
Sandy served the City of South Milwaukee for more than 34 years as the director of the Grobschmidt Senior Center, and I have never met someone more passionate about her work.
From her obituary …
She attended UW-Milwaukee, where she met her husband Kevin. They both graduated in 1984 and began building their life together. Sandy was the Director of the Grobschmidt Senior Center in South Milwaukee for 34 years. She was just a few weeks away from retiring.
Sandy loved scrapbooking all of her family’s events, painting, cruising the Caribbean, and enjoying the relaxing scenes of local beer gardens. She was an avid volunteer within her community, especially the 40 years she dedicated to volunteering for Irish Fest. Most of all, Sandy enjoyed being with her family. Her family was the center of her world. She loved being a grandma and made sure everyone in her family felt loved when she was around. She created cherished memories each and every day with her family and friends.
Sandy was known for her kindness, compassion, warm hugs, and unwavering support for her family. Her smile was made of sunshine and her heart of gold. She touched the lives of many through out the years. Her stories, memories, and impact will live on forever.
Services are January 9. Details can be found in the obituary.
Rest in peace, Sandy, and thank you for your dedicated service to our city — which the city detailed in a proclamation from Acting Mayor Brett Breisemeister just last week.
