Sandi Furnari

On November 24, 2024, Sandi Furnari peacefully left us surrounded by her family. Sandi met Matt while volunteering 33 years ago and became his better half. They were blessed with two children, Brian and Sarah.

Sandi was kind and loving. Her laugh filled every room she was in and she made friends everywhere she went. Even in sickness, Sandi was always willing to help someone else in need. There wasn’t a thing she wouldn’t do for her children or animals.

Sandi bravely fought cancer for the last 3 years. Sandi loved Christmas lights, and when her doctors said she had limited time a year and a half ago, we put lights up and have had them on every night since.

The doctors and nurses at Duke provided Sandi with years of caring help. Sandi was also a big hockey fan and enjoyed watching it with her family. If you’d like, please consider donating to Duke’s Cancer Institute at Make a Gift to Duke or the V Foundation through Hockey Fights Cancer | NHL.com .
