Sandra Marie Lias

August 10, 1950 - November 9, 2026

Sandra Marie Lias (nee Henningfeld), aged 76, passed away peacefully on November 9, 2026, in Florida. Born on August 10, 1950, Sandy was a remarkably talented, courageous, and adventurous soul. She built a meaningful career as an accomplished beautician, turning many of her clients into lifelong friends, and took special pride in founding a successful wig-styling business dedicated to helping cancer patients.

A woman of diverse talents and passions, Sandy was also a gifted seamstress, an avid reader, and a passionate amateur historian with a deep love for early American history. Her sense of adventure truly shined when she boldly moved from the Midwest to Florida, where she met and married the love of her life, Bill. Together, they shared a wonderful life filled with local exploration, a comfortable home, and their cherished cat, Mimi. Sandy's bright, independent spirit left an indelible mark on everyone who knew her.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Lorraine Henningfeld. Sandy is survived by her loving husband, Bill; her dear aunts, Audrey McClain and Marlene Radke; her cousin, Suzie; and a large, loving extended family of cousins and friends.

Funeral Services will be held privately at the convenience of the family. Sandra will be laid to rest in Greenwood Cemetery, Orlando, FL.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Sandy's memory to The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research.
