Alexandra "Sandy" Kay Meeker, 76, of Ludington, passed away Monday, August 6, 2018, at home, surrounded by her loving family.  She was born June 27, 1942, in Ludington, the daughter of David and Kaziemara (Draminski) Boguszewski.

In her youth, Sandy enjoyed ballet and tap dancing.  She also enjoyed going dancing at Johnny's, in Custer, where she met her husband, Rodney.  Sandy graduated from St. Simon High School in 1959.

A loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Sandy stayed at home raising her children and later worked as a teacher's aide at Ludington Public Schools for 25 years.  In her spare time, Sandy loved solving crossword puzzles, expanding her knowledge of history, reading, bird-watching, old movies and game shows.  Most of all, Sandy loved spending time with her family.  Her quiet guidance in faith and traditions was a glue for her children.

Sandy was an active member of St. Stanislaus Catholic Church, and later of St. Simon Catholic Church.  She was the humble rock of her family and will always be remembered for her laughter and love.
