Sandra Jean Bernard

Sandra Jean Bernard, born December 21, 1942, in Gardner, Massachusetts, graced the world with her presence for 82 well-lived years before peacefully departing surrounded by loved ones on November 27, 2025. Sandra, a Templeton resident, was a dedicated employee of Olsen's Restaurant until her well-deserved retirement. She found solace in the simple pleasures of life, such as playing computer games, shopping, and nurturing her beloved cats. As a staunch supporter of New England Sports Teams, she found joy and excitement in each game. A trip to the casino was always a welcome adventure for Sandra.

The devoted mother of six, Sandra, is survived by her sons, Ronald Bernard (Kelly), Bruce Bernard, Richard Bernard (Sharon), Scott Bernard (Buffi), and Todd Bernard (Ginger), and her daughter, Sheila Adams (Neil); nine grandchildren, Adam, Justin, Spencer, Emilee, Joshua, Amanda, Trenton, Alysha, and Brady, five great-grandchildren, Sydney, Maverick, Charlotte, Lydia and Hubert. Her spirit will live on in their hearts and the hearts of all who knew her. She was predeceased by her parents, Francis and Mildred (Hill) Lefebre, and her brother, Robert Lefebre, and his wife, Mary.

Calling hours will be held on Thursday, December 11, 2025, at 10:00 am at Stone-Ladeau Funeral Home, 343 Central Street, Winchendon, Massachusetts, 01475. The funeral service will be followed at 11:00 am at the same location.
