Sandra Ailio obituary

(Thank you to Gail Scarbrough for submitting this information. Sandra will be missed by our Guild! There are no arrangements for a memorial service as of yet.)

Sandra Lee (Butler Drummond) Ailio passed away Feb. 20, 2022 in her Savannah home at the far-too-young age of 77. Her beloved husband Jukka and daughter Debbie were at her side.  

Born in Palo Alto, CA in 1944, Sandra excelled in school and in every job she ever had.  At 18 she opened a business of secretarial services while tending to her infant daughter.  

She went on to carve herself a marvelous career in Human Resources.  She was smart, a quick learner, hard worker and always ready to help.  She mentored many along her long career.

In the 1980’s and 1990’s she worked in Silicon Valley with some of the founding fathers as the world rapidly transitioned into the digital age.  She was proud when daughter Debbie became an attorney and mother and daughter worked sidebyside for several years as HR managers in leading Silicon Valley tech companies.  Sandra enjoyed this exciting fast-paced time until her retirement from Microsystems (now Oracle).

Upon retirement she and Jukka enjoyed travel and boating.  When they moved to Savannah, Sandra became an avid quilter, member of The Savannah Quilt Guild and accumulated a truly impressive “stash” of beautiful fabric.  She was always ready to pitch in. She will be missed by her family and many friends for her good humor, thoughtfulness and kindness.

She is survived by her husband, Jukka Ailio, daughter Debbie Snow and granddaughter Nicole Ebert.

Guild Meeting Tomorrow

The forecast may call for rain but inside it will be nice and dry. We hope to see you all at our March meeting which will be at the Skidaway community Church Located at 50 Diamond Causeway. Don’t forget to bring your name tag, your show and tell and, if you attended the workshop last month, bring your blocks.

Sandra Ailio

Our friend Sandra Ailio died this morning at home under the care of hospice and with her beloved husband at her side.  We will miss her good humor, turn of a witty phrase and cheerful willingness to work for the Guild.
Arrangements haven’t been announced but we’ll let you know.
