Sandra “Sandy” Lee (Robinette) Piff, 72, of Kenosha, WI, passed away peacefully after a courageous battle with cancer on Thursday, October 2, 2014 at her home.
Sandy was born on November 23, 1941 in Steubenville, OH to William H. & Margaret (Hervey) Robinette. She was an early graduate of Toronto High School in Toronto, OH.

They later divorced in 1979. Sandy worked as a social worker for over 31 years – 26 years of which were spent at the Southern Wisconsin Center in Union Grove, WI and various other positions. Sandy loved bike riding and enjoying the Arts. Because of her love of gardening, she obtained her certificate of Horticulture at Gateway Tech in Kenosha, WI.

To Sandy’s family, I am so sorry to hear of Sandy’s passing. She and I shared a love of swimming and biking. Even in these last weeks as I visited with her while delivering meals she remained upbeat. Courageous battle for sure!
