It saddens me to report that Sandy Webb passed away at her home on Monday, May 23 after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Her family is planning private services.
Sandy began her relationship with the faculty, staff and students of New England Culinary Institute nearly 30 years ago when she was hired as the administrative assistant to key management. By the time she left in 2007, she was coordinator of student and alumni relations. Thousands of students passed through the kitchens of NECI during Sandy’s tenure. It is very probable that most of them were touched by her kindness and certain that many benefited from her ready ear and helping hand. A good number of alumni remained in contact with Sandy after she retired. She greatly appreciated the calls, cards and letters she received during her illness.
We have learned that Sandy asked that anyone wanting to make a donation support the Central Vermont Humane Society. They can be reached through their website at cvhumane.com.
A special NECI scholarship has been created in Sandy’s name. People interested in donating to the fund in Sandy’s memory can make donations through the NECI website. Contributions should be made to the NECI Scholarship Fund, Inc., in Sandy’s memory.
Messages of condolence can be sent to Mr. and Mrs. Jason Webb at 1636 Hill Street Extension, Berlin VT 05602.
