Sandra (Sandy) Ann Buchholtz, 66, of Milwaukee, WI, passed away peacefully and
surrounded by family on July 10, 2026 at Zilber Family Hospice.
Born on April 25, 1960 in Milwaukee, WI to Robert and Elaine (Brueckner) MacDonald.
Sandy grew up in West Allis and graduated from Nathan Hale High School. She went on
to graduate from MATC with an associates degree in Childhood Education, a job skill
she excelled in and brought into her personal life through teaching and creating with
her family.
Sandy was known for her sense of humor, unwavering dedication to family, and huge
generous heart. She loved spending time with family, gardening, sewing, reading, all
crafts, and baking, almost as much as she enjoyed eating her sweets.
Sandy is survived by her daughters Angela Buchholtz and Briana (Nathan) Morse; two
grandchildren Alexis Buchholtz and Theodore Morse; three siblings Ray (Ruth)
MacDonald, Lynda (Kevin) Moser, and Denise (David) Otto; and many cherished nieces
Sally (Mike) Behn, Erica Gibson, Danielle Otto, Marissa (Adam) Haglund, Amanda
MacDonald, Traci Otto, and nephew Robert Gibson; as well as great nephews. Further
survived by beloved cousins Rico (Connie), David (Sue) and Christy Salvat. She was
preceded in death by her parents and several friends.
An intimate celebration of life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family
reminds you to cherish your loved ones and live their lives to its fullest.
