She was born in Toronto, Canada, on June 17, 1934, to Pearl and Joseph Weintraub. The middle of three siblings, Sandy immi- grated to America and the city of Detroit with her parents and her older brother, Henry, on May 3, 1938, at the age of 4. She became a natu- ralized American citizen on Jan. 1, 1945, at the age of 10. Sandy grew up in Detroit's heyday; it was a bustling, alive city that had become the automotive capital of the world. It drew work- ers and immigrants from across the region. In her teen years, she would take the bus with her friends to J.L. Hudson and the many stores and boutiques on Woodward Avenue. She enjoyed the early shift in music from the days of Benny Goodman and the sound of jazz and swing to Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley and the emergence of rock 'n' roll. She and her friends enjoyed dance crazes like the Bunny Hop, the Twist, the Mashed Potato and the Watusi. She experienced the emergence of television and witnessed America at war in Europe and the Pacific. At age 20, Sandy was married to Stanford Morris, a marriage that lasted 25 years and brought four children into the world. She loved being a mom. Throughout most of her life, she avidly enjoyed knitting and crocheting as a hobby, producing creations that ranged from sweaters for her and her family to gorgeous, sequin-bejeweled full-length gowns. Sandy was a fiercely independent woman with animated opinions on politics and the issues of the day. She lived in her Southfield condominium and drove her pretty, red car right up until entering the hospi- tal on April 2. In the mid 1970s she founded One- of-a-Kind Jewelers, a store at Southfield's Applegate Square Mall, that through her association with many talented artists, created beautifully unique jewelry that was as individual and attention-grabbing as she was. She loved travel, enter- taining with her family and the company of her many friends. Sandy adored her beloved mah jong group, a fellowship that she enjoyed for more than 50 years. In her 60s and early 70s, she volun- teered with Jewish Family Services and the Jewish Community Center in West Bloomfield. Mrs. Morris is survived by her chil- dren, Howard and Janis Morris, David Morris and Elodie Meuser, Rona and Jeffrey Danziger; grandchildren, Daniel and Shayna Morris; sister and brother- in-law, Pat and Bob Zelden; brother, Cantor Henry Weintraub. She was the cherished mother of the late Martin Morris; the devoted daugh- ter of the late Joseph and the late Pearl Weintraub. Interment was at Aaron Moshe Cemetery.
