Sandra Morris, age 81, passed away on Friday, April 22, 2016 at Providence Hospital in Southfield, Michigan after a short illness. She was born in Toronto, Canada on June 17, 1934 to Pearl and Joseph Weintraub who had immigrated from Poland in the early 1930's. The middle of three siblings, Sandy immigrated to America and the city of Detroit with her parents and her older brother Henry on May 3, 1938 at the age of 4. She became a naturalized American citizen on January 1, 1945 at the age of 10. Sandy grew up in Detroit's heyday; a bustling, alive city that had become the automotive capital of the world. It drew workers and immigrants from across the region. In her teen years, she would take the bus with her friends to J.L. Hudsons and the many stores and boutiques on Woodward Avenue. She enjoyed the early shift in music from the days of Benny Goodman and the sound of jazz and swing to Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley and the emergence of something called Rock & Roll. Her and her friends enjoyed dance crazes like the "Bunny Hop", the "Twist" the "Mash Potato" and the "Watusi". She experienced the emergence of television and witnessed America at war in Europe and the Pacific. At age 20, Sandy was married to Stanford Morris, a marriage that lasted 25 years and brought four children into the world. She loved being a mom. Throughout most of her life, she avidly enjoyed knitting and crocheting as a hobby, producing creations that ranged from sweaters for her and her family to gorgeous sequin bejeweled full-length gowns. Sandy was a fiercely independent woman with animated opinions on politics and the issues of the day. She lived in her Southfield condominium and drove her pretty red car right up until entering the hospital on April 2nd. In the mid 1970's she founded One-Of-A-Kind Jewelers, a store at Southfield's Applegate Square Mall that through her association with many talented artists, created beautifully unique jewelry that was as individual and attention-grabbing as she was. She loved travel, entertaining with her family and the company of her many friends. Sandy adored her beloved Mahjong group, a game and fellowship that she enjoyed for over 50 years. In her 60's and early 70's, she volunteered with Jewish Family Services and the Jewish Community Center in West Bloomfield.
