Cammisa

Sandra L. “Sandi” Cammisa, 83, of Butler, passed away Tuesday, Feb. 13, 2024, at Arden Courts of the North Hills, with her loving family at her side.

Born in Pittsburgh on Sept. 7, 1940, she was a daughter of the late Joseph R. and Wilma E. Severin Kaelin.

Sandi grew up in New Kensington and graduated from New Kensington High School in 1959. She went on to study at Carlow College in Pittsburgh. She transferred during her sophomore year to St. Francis College, Loretto, and graduated in 1963 with a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish and secondary education with minors in English and philosophy. She took graduate courses both at Middlebury College in Vermont and at a special center in Madrid, Spain.

She was formerly employed as a Spanish teacher at Butler Senior High School.

She was a member of All Saints Parish, St. Conrad Roman Catholic Church, and was also a member for many years of St. Michael the Archangel Roman Catholic Church.

Sandi enjoyed reading and gardening, but — most of all — cherished and valued her family and friends and the wonderful times they all spent together.

She is survived by four daughters, Shannon Lee Mullner and her husband, James, of Hudson, Ohio, and their children Anna Marie, Julia Rose, and identical twins Michael and James, Christine Marie Zacherl and her husband, Dale, of Evans City and their children Autumn Rochelle and Brielle Olivia, Rebecca Anne Hensel and her husband, Fred, of Gibsonia and their children Alexia Grace and Frederick Michael, and Amber Lynne McCaffrey and her husband, Derek, of Freedom; and one sister, Nancy J. Shoup of San Mateo, Calif.; and a number of nieces and nephews.

In addition to her parents, Sandi was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Michael D. Cammisa Jr., whom she married Aug. 5, 1967, and who passed away Dec. 19, 2019.
