Sandy Diamond, 80, loving wife, mother, grandmother and friend, passed away on Thursday morning in Delray Beach, Florida. Sandy was born on July 23, 1944 in Buffalo, NY to Arthur and Esther (Pocklowitz) Cohn. They settled in Syracuse where Sandy graduated from Nottingham High School. For many years Sandy was the secretary for the Syracuse Hebrew Day School where she had wonderful friendships with the faculty and students.

She and Shelly retired to Delray Beach, FL in 2003 and enjoyed their life there, with many old friends from Syracuse and many news friends were made as well. They enjoyed exciting vacations over the years and had an extremely active social life. Anyone that knows her, also knows how much she loved playing Mah-Jongg with the ladies!
Her family includes her husband Shelly; their son Arthur (Lisa Thiel); their daughter Tracy; and grandchildren Rachel (Jake Fekete), Eli, and Sam Diamond; and Jake and Max Tanenbaum, and former daughter-in-law Meg.
Funeral Services will be at 1PM on Sunday July 13 at Sisskind Funeral Chapel. Friends may visit with the family immediately prior to the service on Sunday at the funeral chapel, 3175 E. Genesee Street from noon to 1PM. Burial will be in Beth El Cemetery.
