Obituary

Sandra Jean (Fox) Venier, 76, of Rockwood, died on August 25th at Angela Hospice Home Care in Livonia, Michigan, after a long battle with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. Sandy was born at Mercy Memorial Hospital in Monroe, on June 5, 1947, and was the eldest of six children born to George and Helen Fox. Sandy was a member of the first graduating class from Gibraltar Carlson High School and was a lifelong parishioner at St. Mary Catholic Church in Rockwood, where she served on the Saint Vincent De Paul, Beautification, and Funeral Luncheon Committees.  

On October 22, 1966, Sandy married David Venier at St. Mary Catholic Church in Rockwood.

During her early years, Sandy worked for the La-Z-Boy Company in Monroe, and as a Teacher’s Aide for the Gibraltar Public Schools. Finally, Sandy was employed in the Civil Division of the 33rd District Court, Woodhaven, and retired as a supervisor after 31 years of service.  In her free time, Sandy enjoyed traveling, spending time with family and friends, and living her best life with the tight-knit community on Ludwig Drive.  

Sandy is survived by her husband David, daughter Debra (Andrew) LaFleur, grandchildren Claire (Carter) Roush, and Ellen LaFleur, and siblings, Sharon (Earl) Dishaw, Kathy Krajcirovic, George (Mary) Fox Jr., Joseph (Louise) Fox, and Timothy (Leslie) Fox. 

Sandy was preceded in death by her parents and numerous members of the Fox and Venier families.
