Sandra W. Altomare, age 72, Inverness, FL passed away at home on December 19, 2020 under the loving care of her family and Vitas Hospice.
Mrs. Altomare was born in Mount Holly, NJ on December 8, 1948 to Harry M. and Doris
(Morning) Wilkinson and came to Citrus County in 1983. She was a member of Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church. Sandi loved art and interior design, but her greatest passion was her family; three children and six grandchildren. She was the best wife, mother and grandma that we could’ve asked for. She enjoyed baking and doing whatever made her family happy. Christmas was her favorite time of year. Each year she would spend three weeks decorating the interior of her home beginning on Halloween. Her love of Christmas and decorating can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViyCelHfzvc&t=11s. Sandi was a talented floral designer, owned and operated Flowers by Sandi in Hernando for many years; loved interior decorating and one stroke painting. She was vice-president of a communications and electronics firm that she and her husband operated for 30 years. She was loved by everyone she met, was kind, thoughtful, caring, loving and a beautiful person in body and spirit. Our tears will be never ending for our loss. We miss you so much.
