Sandra E. DeMicco
October 13, 1949 ~ January 14, 2023
Sandy was born on Oct 13, 1949 in Roselle Park, New Jersey and lived there past her high
school years. She worked as a key punch operator at Airco Welding Products in Union, New
Jersey where she met and married Vincent (Vinnie) DeMicco on Oct 18, 1969.
They bought their first home in South Plainfield, New Jersey and had two children, Natalie and
Carrie. They bought their second home in Hopewell Township, New Jersey to be closer to
Vinnie’s work. During this time Sandy worked at a day care center where at various times she
performed all duties required to run the facility.
Then in 1989 the family moved to Vienna, Virginia in accord with Vinnie’s new job in
Washington, DC. Both daughters have since married and have two children each and now live
in Ashburn, Virginia. Sandy and Vinnie continue to live in Vienna with Vinnie surviving Sandy
who passed on January 14, 2023.
Even in her early married years, travel was a high priority and she and her husband traveled
extensively. The early years of travel were made possible with her mother sitting the daughters
many times through those years and even more once the girls were off to college and beyond.
Once Vinnie was retired more travel destinations were visited. Sandy’s love for the beach also
took them to the Caribbean, Hawaii, and Mexico, the Outer Banks, Florida, Jersey shore, and
Virginia Beach.
Other travel destinations included Australia, Africa, Japan, England, France, Italy, Germany,
Greece, Spain, Alaska, Galapagos, and Canada.
Sandy was also an avid wildlife photographer putting her skills to the test in all destinations but
especially in Africa, Florida, Galapagos, and the backyard where bird feeders brought a large
array of birds.
Sandy is survived by husband Vinnie, daughters Natalie (husband Gregg) and Carrie (husband
Rich), grandchildren Tori (fiancé Thomas), Helena, Sam, Kayla, sister Gail and brother Skip
(wife Judy

Along with Vinnie, Sandy’s faithful service as an usher at Trinity United Methodist Church will always be remembered: I looked forward to her smile and joyful greeting every Sunday as I entered the Narthex. There was nothing like it. Thank you, Sandy. With love, Kathy Maher
Family members typically don’t knock on your door and wait for you to let them in. They simply knock to let you know they’re there and then they let themselves in. Sandy and Vinnie knocked on our back door like family. Over a 30-year period, they let themselves in. I know it seems like a simple thing, but it was a comforting reminder of our friendship. I will miss Sandy so much. Her love of family and the natural world and her kindness she showed to her friends will not be forgotten.
