June 6, 1941 - November 5, 2023
Sandra Lee Madsen Strech, age 82, passed away peacefully in Sacramento, CA, formerly of Volcano, CA. She was born in San Francisco, CA, to the late Charles and Dorothy Madsen.
After graduating from Montgomery High School Class of 1959 in Santa Rosa, Sandra married the late Wesley Strech. Together, they built a life in Sebastopol, California, becoming longtime residents of the community.
Sandra is survived by her loving sons, Michael E. (Laura) Strech of Sacramento, CA, and Steven Strech of Petaluma, CA. She was a devoted grandmother to Amy Goto of Hawaii, Tyler Strech of Petaluma, Liam Strech, and Erin Strech, both of Sacramento. Sandra also leaves behind her twin sister, Sonya Ramatici, and several nieces and nephews.
Arrangements have been made by the Trinity Society, Roseville, CA. The final disposition will be private at the convenience of the family, allowing them to reflect on the beautiful moments shared with Sandra.

Sandy was my cousin. I remember she was my babysitter. She would make rice Krispies squares for me and my sister. She missed Wes so much. RIP Sandy. I will miss you.

So sorry for your loss . I knew Wes and Sandra when they were in Santa Rosa. One of my fond memories is a day on the bay in the sail boat.
