In Loving Memory of Sandra Lee Holbrook 

Sandra Lee Holbrook, age 85, a resident of Carver and most recently of Wareham, passed away peacefully on Thursday September 25, 2025, in her home surrounded by her family. 

She was the daughter of the late Myron & Helen (Benoit) Holbrook. She grew up in Holbrook and graduated from Holbrook public schools.

She believed deeply in the power of learning and the importance of encouraging every student to see their own potential, this mentorship extended beyond her classroom.
