To honor Sandra, private family services will be held. Entombment will be in Mount Olivet Cemetery. Leonard Funeral Home & Crematory, 2595 Rockdale Road is serving the family.

Sandy was born on October 20, 1939, in Chicago, Illinois to Gilbert and Eleanor (Stein) Churchill. She graduated from Notre Dame High School in 1957. On February 8, 1964 she married the love of her life David H. Parrett at Saint Ferdinand in Chicago, Illinois. David and Sandy had a whirlwind romance, marrying within months of meeting and quickly started a family. David preceded her in death on December 22, 2012.

Sandy was a devoted wife and truly amazing mom. Her children are in awe of her intelligence, strength, and determination. Her family was her focus and she lived to create beautiful memories for and with her children that they treasure today.

Sandy always worked outside her home but she was most fond of her work as Human Resource Manager at Wood County National Bank in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin. After she retired, she was generous with her time and volunteered for several organizations that represented her passions including Friends of the Library and the Dubuque Arboretum.

Sandy is survived by her children Lisa Parrett of Denver, CO, Mark (Jean Ann) Parrett of Dubuque, Andrea (Paul Wheelock) Parrett of Peosta. A sister Patricia Stromberg of Scottsdale, AZ, brothers Gerald (Diane) Churchill of Atlanta, GA and Gilbert (Helen) Churchill of Lodi, WI. Sisters-in-law Maggie Blaha of Milwaukee, WI and Jan Parrett of Sun Prairie, WI; along with several nieces and nephews and lifelong friend Nancy Neibauer of Black Mountain, NC. Two step grandchildren Jamie (Ryan) Becker and Justin (Marissa) Muehlenkamp; and step great grandchildren Chase, Carter, Cannen, Reid, and Alexa.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her father and mother-in-law, brothers-in-law Donald and Thomas Parrett, Thomas Blaha and Kurt Stromberg; nieces Carol Suchomel and Amy Rivers; nephews John and Kent Churchill.

Lisa, Mark and Andrea appreciate all the compassionate care provided to their mom by staff and caregivers at Assisi Village along with Dr’s. Kristin Nelson and Tauseef Khan.
