Sandra "Sandi" L. Wrzesinski

Sandi Lee Wrzesinski (Liebert) 69 of Wenatchee passed away on February 21st, 2018. Her fight with MS ended peacefully surrounded by her family. She was born on June 5th, 1948 in Dodge City Kansas to Jack and Dorothy (Sullivan) Liebert. She spent the first 14 years of her childhood in Kansas, until her family relocated to Oregon and not soon after to Wenatchee. Mom always shared how upset she was with the moves, first from Kansas where she could drive at 14 and no longer could drive in Oregon or Washington. She laughed that her Dad decided to move again from Oregon to Wenatchee because she had gotten her first boyfriend. Sandi attended and graduated from Wenatchee High School, where she met her best friend to this day, Deeda Christensen. They loved to tell their stories of high school days and would laugh until they had tears, apparently the favorite hang out was Dusty’s. Mom always said a Dusty burger needed to be eaten in the car so we would often drive her around while she ate her hamburger. While working as a waitress she met the love of her life Jack Wrzesinski and they got married on July 10th, 1971. They were known for their amazing dance moves and how flawless they were as a couple on the dance floor. Mom was dad’s most compassionate nurse and did everything for him while he was sick and to keep our family running smoothly. She worked so hard to make sure her children were loved and protected during his illness. Her favorite job was working at the House of Fabrics with her brother (Bob). She met many of her closest friends working in the packing sheds. As her family grew she worked at JC Penny in the evenings and weekends “for the discount” she would say. After dad passed away she was honored to work for Chelan County PUD in several different roles. Mom had many hobbies and passions and taught us to live life to the fullest and enjoy what makes you happy. She and her mom were a fearsome duo in the Pool League and hold many titles. She always made sure her yard and house were impeccable. She had the gift of design and could decorate a room in a weekend; making new curtains, painting, stenciling and recovering furniture. Her sewing abilities were like none other, she made many of her own clothes and most of her children’s clothes growing up. She loved to craft and participate in bazaars with her mother. Once she started quilting it was over, she found her true talent. She could put the most amazing pieces together and even quilted her own quilts. Her greatest joy was gifting her work to others. Her grandchildren all had quilts before they were even a thought in their parents’ hearts. Becoming a Grammie was the absolute best thing she could have wished for. She loved each and everyone of them more than words and I am sure her friends got tired of her pictures and stories of them. These little ones truly kept her fighting and smiling. As her MS progressed, she took it all in stride she never complained or dwelled on how her life was changing. She just kept on and would find a new normal. Up until the end she was getting her nails done, playing bingo and dominoes, reading her People magazine and eating Dove chocolates. Her children were everything to her and she would have done anything to make them happy. The memories and laughs they have with her will always be cherished. She was a gift to our world. She is survived by her four children; Heather (Nikhil) Gadkari and their boys; Kiran, Tejas, and Bodhin of New York. Shayne (Dave) Rennie and their girls; Elsie and Mackinlee, Joshua Wrzesinski, Jeremy (Stefane) Wrzesinski their son Jackson all of Wenatchee. Brother Charles (Virginia) Liebert, East Wenatchee. Uncle Melvin and Aunt Colleen Boner, of East Wenatchee. Sister in laws, Debbie and Sharon Liebert. Along with Many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband of 22 years, Jack Wrzesinski, her parents Jack and Dorothy Liebert and brothers Bob and Jerry. The family would like to thank Regency Nursing home for caring for mom so well these last few months. Those were some of the best months for her in the past few years.
