Obituary of Sandra Louise Jahnke

Sandra Louise Jahnke, age 76 of Superior, Wisconsin passed away peacefully, on Saturday, November 27, 2021, holding hands with her loving husband and daughter.

Sandy was raised in Rhinelander, Wisconsin. She attended school at St. Mary’s Catholic School and was a member of the Belles of St. Mary’s Drum and Bugle Corps.

Sandy graduated from Rhinelander Union High School in 1963. Sandy enjoyed making crafts and knitting. Later in life, reading was her main hobby. Sandy was a life-long member of the Beta Sigma Phi sorority. Sandy also loved fishing, traveling and the outdoors.
