July 13, 1941 – May 2, 2024

It is with tremendous sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Sandra Kolsteren (Shephard) on Thursday, May 2, 2024 in her 82nd year.

Loving and devoted wife of the late Mathew and dear mother to Kathleen (Ante) and Ian (Danielle).

Her memory will live on in her cherished grandchildren Carina, Anthony, Aria and Noella.

She will also be missed by her brother John (Linda) along with her many nieces, nephews, cousins and numerous friends.

Sandra was an avid badminton player where she also volunteered at both the local and provincial levels. She then began faithfully helping in the church with her dedication to the Daughters of Isabella where she was most recently State Regent. You would find her organizing meetings, conventions, bazaars, bingos and many special events throughout the year.

She was always ready to step in to help those in need. Her many hobbies included gardening, scrapbooking, golf and playing cards. Sandra will be deeply missed by everyone whose life she touched and we shall love her forever.

Visitation will be held at W.C. TOWN FUNERAL CHAPEL(110 Dundas Street E. Whitby) on Tuesday June 18th 2024 from 2-4 pm and 7-9 pm and a Funeral Mass will take place at 11:00 am on Wednesday June 19th 2024 at St. John the Evangelist Church (903 Giffard Street, Whitby).

For those unable to attend in person, a livestream link will be available.

Private family internment to follow at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial donations in Sandra’s honour to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Goodbyes are not forever –
This is not the end –
It simply means we’ll miss you –
Until we meet again.
