Sandra Cofrancesco
1957-2014

WESTFIELD-Sandra A. Cofrancesco, 56, beloved sister and loving mother of three, unexpectedly passed on Monday 10 February at Hartford Hospital. Born July 2, 1957 in New Haven, CT, she was the first child of Mary and Simon Cofrancesco. Beautiful, kind, funny, sweet and goofy, Sandee was always the life of the party and stuck out from the crowd. She would always engage others in heated debate, even if they just met. Her vivacious personality touched the hearts of the young and old. Sandee only thought of others, reaching out to help family, friends, colleagues, clients and others in need. She never missed a birthday, which was actually her opportunity to sing on the phone. A devout Catholic, Sandee loved to learn more about her faith and had a profound love for the Latin Mass. Sandee is survived and lovingly cherished by: her ex-husband, Donald P. Collins; her three children, Devon (husband Hector), John and Dana; her siblings, Simon, Susan and Steven, and many in-laws, nieces, nephews, family, and friends too numerous to list but not forgotten. Friends and family are asked to please meet at St. Mary's Church in Westfield on Saturday at 10:30 am for the funeral Mass followed by burial in St. Thomas Cemetery. Calling hours at the West Springfield Curran-Jones Funeral Home will be Friday 4-7 pm. For more information please go to curranjones.com.
