Sandra M Habat

March 13, 1972 - July 7, 2023

Sandra “Sandi” Marie Habat (Samas), age 51, of Cleveland, Ohio fell asleep in death in the early hours of July 7, 2023. She was born in Euclid, Ohio on March 13, 1972 to Mark and Christine Samas as the oldest of three children. Sandi was a kind, loving, and charismatic mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt, and niece with a truly infectious laugh. She made fast friends with everyone she met and loved to open her heart and her home to all. She enjoyed cooking and entertaining and was especially talented with a paint brush. She spent many years caring for others. Above all, Sandi believed in the Bible’s promise at John 5:28, 29 of a resurrection to life on earth. Her family shares in that hope. Sandi is survived by her sons Victor (Megan) and Craig, grandson Nash, parents Mark and Chris, brothers Joshua and Michael, nieces and nephews Mitchell, Gianna, Mykayla, Michael, and Mark, and several aunts and uncles who will all cherish their wonderful memories of Sandi.

The family will receive condolences on Sunday, July 16, 2023 from 2-5pm at the Willoughby Hills Community Center at 35400 Chardon Road, Willoughby Hills, OH 44094.
