Sandra Roach

Sandra Roach (nee: Brown), age 56, of Clifton, passed away peacefully at home on October 11, 2024 surrounded by her loving family, after a courageous battle with cancer. Born in Montclair, Sandi was a lifelong resident of Clifton, NJ. Sandi was the beloved wife of the late Ricky Roach, who passed away in 2012. She leaves behind her cherished daughters, Megan and Shannon, who will forever remember her warmth, strength, and unwavering love. She is also survived by her devoted mother, Gloria Brown (nee: Passetti); her brother, Steve Brown and his wife Gina of Hawthorne; and her dear aunt, Linda Passetti of Clifton. She is predeceased by her father, Lucius “Edward” Brown (2013). Sandi was heavily involved in the School system during and after her children graduated. If she wasn’t making the school year books, she was working as a school aid. She shined a light wherever she went, and this  can never be replaced. She was ‘mom’ to all the neighborhood kids and they entrusted in her motherly nurturing and advice when needed. She will be missed dearly by all the people who came to her for guidance and she raised as if they were her own.
