Sandra J. Mrakich, 83, of Harwick, passed away Friday, Nov. 17, 2023, in Harmar Village Care Center, surrounded by her loving family. She was born Nov. 4, 1940, to her parents, the late Edith Willis (Watson) and Harry Mohney, and had been a lifelong resident of the community. Sandy was a graduate of Springdale High School and worked at Westinghouse for 30 years. Sandy, also known as Beauty, was loved by all who knew her for her kindness and endless gestures of giving. She enjoyed taking care of family and neighbors. Sandy loved spending time with her family and especially her grandchildren. Sandy and Donnie enjoyed hosting holiday gatherings, attending polka dances and picnics, lots of music, but most of all, being with her daughters and their families. Sandy was preceded in death by the love of her life, Donnie. Surviving her are daughters, Debbie (David) Klodowski, of Hampton, and Denise (Luddy) Prasnikar, of Indiana Township; loving grandchildren, Ashley Prasnikar and fiance, Randy Radebach, David Klodowski (Emily) and Katie Klodowski; her loving sisters-in-law, Dorothy Libroth, of Harwick, and Connie (Steve) Johnston, of Freeport; and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. Besides her husband, Donnie, and her parents, she was preceded in death by her brothers, Harry Mohney and Carlton Willis; and brother-in-law, Samuel Libroth. The family would like to thank the aides, nurses and staff at Harmar Village Care Center, who treated Sandy like family and cared for her. They are thankful for her sisters-in law, Dorothy and Connie, who over the years helped both Donnie and Sandy with their devoted love and care, and her many friends and family who often visited her and kept in touch.
