Cassandra Ann (Millis) Foster

Age 60, passed away December 24, 2022.  She was born January 19, 1962 in Lansing and was a graduate of Eastern High School.  Sandy worked as a home health provider and was one of the most selfless and generous people to all who were fortunate enough to know her.  Florida was one of Sandy’s favorite places where she loved watching for manatees and visiting Sea World.  She also loved fishing for bluegills, collecting jewelry, and listening to music, especially the song “Jungle Love” and all Beatles music, including her favorite “Hey Jude.”  Sandy also loved Oldsmobiles, especially the Cutlass.   Most of all, Sandy loved being in the sun, working on her suntan and she loved her grandchildren unconditionally!

Sandy is survived by her son, Matthew (Samantha Suntken) Matney; two grandchildren, Heidi and Hazel Matney; father, Robert (Diane) Millis; brother, Mark (Ann) Millis; brother-in-law, Robert (Pam) Schneiderman; step-brothers, Mike and Joe Dyer; step-sister, Rachel (Jeff) Pavlik; as well as aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and special friends, especially the Elbashir family, who loved, supported and became family to Sandy.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Mark Foster; mother, Luba Millis; sister, Roberta Schneiderman; and special grandmother, Slavka Evanoff, with whom she was very close.
