About

Sandy McNeill Schulz

             

           

A Memorial Service was held in Vancouver, B.C.

 

All of Sandy's friends and family would like to thank the staff and caregivers at Yaletown House. They provided her with excellent care through the last few years as her affliction with Parkinson's Disease progressed.

Her final days were made comfortable and beautiful with music, flowers, comapionship and warmth. For this, we are all grateful.

A special acknowledgement is due to Anne Malcolmson Schmitt, Sandy's friend for over 60 years. She has shown the qualities of friendship, love, and loyalty in abundance.

LeRoy, is also resident in Yaletown House. I am sure that his presence and his familiar face was a comfort to Sandy. They had been married for 40 years.

Thank you for visiting this memorial site. Please feel free to add your own photos, post memories, or share condolences.

Memories

Sandy

Robert and Sharon Davey Dec 30, 2009

I only just learned of Sandy's death. I am very sorry to learn she has gone. I too met Leroy and Sandy at the Bristol Old Vic, but much later I came out to Vancouver and stayed with them in their lovely apartment in Tudor Manor. I will always be grateful for their hospitality, especially since I certainly overstayed my welcome before finally getting a place of my own. Leroy was Best Man at my wedding to Sharon and we stayed friends with Leroy and Sandy throughout the '80s, but have lost touch since moving to Connecticut.

Sandy was always an ethereal presence, her smile seemingly concealing some secret , contrasting with Leroy's "out there" persona.

We remember her fondly.

My memory of Sandy and LeRoy

Robert Pheby Sep 11, 2009

I was so sad to hear this news. Rest easy dear Sandy.
Fondest memories of you and LeRoy at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School during the early Seventies.

Sandy worked for a time at the Theatre Royal box ofice, while LeRoy and I indulged ourselves with a somewhat sideways appproach to the drama craft.

My thoughts are with you dear LeRoy. I would love to get in touch again and catch up. I often recall our Cotswold adventures!

I am now a grandfather, still dabbling in the theatre, and living in Cornwall, with Jenny and four cats, having married for the second time in 2006.

Unhappily Jane and I divorced back in 1994.

Love and laughter old friend...

My Memory

Orrin Webber Aug 12, 2008

I knew Sandy and LeRoy for many years-I was their GP. There was always the calm contrast between pleasant, quiet Sandy and the somwhat more volatile LeRoy. I am so sorry to hear of Sandy's death, not knowing she was so sick as I last saw them 10 years ago. My best wishes to LeRoy and the family.

Happy Times
