Cornelia Stacia Sandberg, affectionately known as Connie or Corie, passed away on January 15, 2025 at Marshfield Medical Center - Weston.
Connie was born on August 17, 1934 to the late Peter and Stella (Janikowski) Schoone. She proudly served her community as a poll worker for 54 years, demonstrating her commitment to civic duty and engagement. She also contributed to the healthcare field as a Certified Nursing Assistant at Sacred Heart Hospital.
In her early years, Connie took on various roles in the restaurant industry. She retired in 1995, leaving a legacy of care and compassion. Farming was in Connie's blood. She grew up on a farm and also spent 10 years working on a chicken farm. Her love for the land continued to thrive as she baked fresh bread, made homemade sauerkraut, and crafted delicious apple pies that her grandson couldn't get enough of. Connie also cherished quiet moments fishing with her family on their private lake and exploring her creative side through knitting.
Connie is survived by her children, Cindy (Clarence) Daniels, Sherree (Charlie) Taves, Michael Sandberg, and Jeffery Sandberg (Lori Wendorf Mason); siblings, Mary Croker, Dennis (Gail) Schoone, Carol (Robert) Rucinski; her grandchildren, Meghan (Lee) Daniels Schultz, Derek Daniels, Tyler (Stephanie) Taves, Jamie Sandberg, Jessica (Pete) Nelson, Laryssa (Dave) Hagenbucher; six great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by husband, Gustaf (Vern) Sandberg; her parents; and siblings, Matthew Schoone, Andrew Schoone, Grace Ollhoff, Teresa Burnett, Jack Schoone, Patsy Springer, and David Schoone.
In accordance with Connie's wishes, no funeral services will take place. The families will honor Connie's life with private celebrations to remember her in their own way. Private interment will take place at Oak Hill Cemetery in Skanawan, WI.
