SanDe was an extraordinary artist. She was very creative and could design anything skillfully and beautifully. SanDe also enjoyed genealogy. She was an active member at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church.
SanDe passed away November 12, 2014 of natural causes at home at the age of 72 years and 20 days. She was preceded in death by her father, Emil; and by five brothers, Michael, Wayne, David, Don and Thomas.
She will be lovingly remembered by her husband, John; mother, Alice Richer; four siblings, Barbara Norman (Steve), Lyn Strzyzewski, Robert Richer (Kathy), and Keith Richer (Marge); sisters-in-law Pam, Diane and Diezy Richer; by several aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews, and by many friends.
I remember Mrs. Przytarski as my elementary Art teacher at Crucifixion school (La Crescent, MN (would have been in the 70:s) She was a very caring person who make sure her students tried everything. She never judged our projects. No matter what we made she would tell us how unique and beautiful it was.
Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
We will always remember Sande as the friendly, red headed barmaid at Charlies in Winona who always had a smile for every one. Her fantastic mural covering the entire wall is forever etched in our memories. Our condolences to the family. Dick and Ruth Smith Winona.
