Sandra M. McCart, age 90, passed away on March 16, 2026. She was born in Newark, New Jersey, to Josephine and Samuel Marzano. Sandra spent much of her life in California before later making her home in Aurora, Colorado. In her final weeks, she was surrounded by family, cherished photo memories, and the simple comforts of watching Bobby Flay and Poldark on television.
Sandra was a trailblazing executive in the international fabric industry, breaking barriers as a woman in her field. She was also known for her keen expertise as a risk manager, as well as her warmth, loyalty, and enduring friendships. Sandra built a life defined by resilience, professionalism, and meaningful connections.
She is survived by her son, Joseph and his wife Michele Martinez, her daugther-in-law Susan Martinez, five grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband Ronald McCart, her son, Samuel Martinez, her grandson Sammy Martinez and her parents.
Sandra will be remembered for her strength, independence, and the lasting impact she made both professionally and personally. A loving mother, grandmother, and friend, she will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
The family is remembering Sandra privately at this time. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in her memory to World Central Kitchen (wck.org) or Mission Blue (missionblue.org).
