In loving memory of our mother, Sandra “Sandy” Mills, who passed away on April 12, 2026.
She was the devoted wife of the late Laurence Mills and loving mother of Mikayla, Allison and Russell. Loving grandmother to Avery, Max, Logan, Jordan and Joy. Beloved sister of Peggy Gassman and the late Nita Boyer.
She will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
Our mother was a kind, caring and giving person who always put the needs of her family before her own. She was a strong woman who faced every challenge in her life with courage and dignity. Our mother was a source of inspiration to us all and she will be deeply missed by everyone whose lives she touched.
Growing up, Sandra was always there for us, whether we needed help with our homework or a home cooked meal. She instilled in us the importance of family, acts of service and doing what is right.
Sandra, born to Isador and Edith Rosenblum and spent her childhood on Nantasket Beach. Sandra had a brilliant mind and graduated with high honors from Bryn Mawr College and went on to receive a Master’s degree from Boston University.
In her later years Sandra spent her days caring for Laurence and heading “The Afghan Project ”, a non-profit that provided comfort for foster children.
