Sandra A. Bogardus, 61, of Kenosha, passed away on Sunday, May 9, 2021, at Froedtert South St. Catherine’s in Pleasant Prairie, WI.
Born on March 27, 1960, in Chicago, IL, she was the daughter of the late Jim and Monica (Burk) Olson. She moved to Kenosha 20 years ago.
She spent almost 40 years with the love of her life, Theodore Leitner. He preceded her in death on April 15, 2020.
Sandra loved watching black and white movies, drinking coffee, having her daughter paint her nails and do her hair, and spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren. Her family was her world.

Sandra was preceded in death by parents; he beloved, Theodore; her niece who was like a daughter, Monica Martinez at 31 years old just last week; and siblings, David Bogardus, Denise (Jeff Carlise) Brown, and Liz Sloan.
A private memorial service will be held by the family at a later date.
