Sandra Henseler
Sandra Jean "Sandy" Henseler (née Eddy), 67, passed away on February 12, 2025, in Marshfield, Wisconsin. Born on October 5, 1957, in Neillsville, Wisconsin, Sandy lived a life filled with love, kindness, and devotion to her family and community.
A proud graduate of Neillsville High School's Class of 1975, Sandy carried the values of hard work and compassion throughout her life. She was known for her caring and selfless nature, always putting others before herself. Her warmth and sense of fun made her a beloved presence among those who knew her.
Sandy was joined in marriage to William Henseler Jr on February 19, 1977. They settled in Granton, Wisconsin where they raised their 2 children, William and Amber. Sandy worked locally in propane customer service where her coworkers and customers praise her compassion, sense of community and trust.
Sandy found great joy in the simple pleasures of life. She loved feeding the birds that visited her yard, tending to her beautiful flowers, and cheering on the Green Bay Packers and Wisconsin Badgers. She enjoyed bowling with her friends. Time spent with family was most precious to her—whether it was outings with her sisters or making cherished memories with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
She is survived by her loving husband, William; her children, William (Sue) Henseler of Neillsville and Amber (Joe) Cullen of Pittsville; and her grandchildren: Logan, Dylan, Jenna, Benjamin, Ethan, Xavier (Amanda), Nathan, Gavin, and Issac. She also leaves behind two great-grandchildren, Daniel and Hazel. Sandy will be deeply missed by her siblings: Debbie (Joe) Holman, Duane Eddy, Susan Gurney, Brian Eddy of Neillsville, and Lisa (Rand) Rendmeister of Merrillan. She is further survived by many nieces, nephews, cousins and extended family.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Kenneth and Darlene (Shaw) Eddy; as well as her brother-in-law Gene Gurney.
