Sandra Gomez

July 3, 1949 — June 9, 2025

Sandra Lynn Gomez (née Reske) Born into Eternal Life on Monday, June 9, 2025 Sandra "Sandy" Lynn Gomez was born in Milwaukee, WI, on July 3, 1949, to the late Bernard and Mary Reske. She was the second youngest of nine children. Sandy is survived by her beloved sons, Victor and Miguel Gomez. She was a cherished sister to Beverly "Fay" (the late Frank) Lyman, Thomas (Joan) Reske, Judith (the late Jerome) Michalek, and Wayne Reske, and was preceded in death by siblings Ronald Reske, Robert (Susan) Reske, Lawrence (Mary) Reske, and Suzanne Gasser. Sandy was a loving aunt to many nieces and nephews, and a special great-aunt to their children. A few affectionately knew her as "Tía." Sandy also held dear her extended family and her "Coffee Shop Friends." A devoted mother, Sandy gave her sons the gifts of love, guidance, and strong values. Sandy's family was her greatest pride and joy, and she treasured every moment spent with them. Sandy began her career as a medical transcriber at the VA Hospital in Milwaukee before moving to Miami, FL, where she started her family and continued as a medical transcriber as well as a day care worker at Northwest Christian Academy. After 12 years, she returned to Milwaukee and worked in retail at JCPenney, Kmart, and Big Lots, where she formed lasting friendships with coworkers and customers alike. A woman of deep faith, Sandy was a devoted member of Layton Avenue Baptist Church in Greenfield, where she served as church secretary and was dearly loved by her church family. Her unwavering belief in Jesus Christ and commitment to Christian fellowship were the foundation of her life and brought her great peace and purpose. Family and friends are invited to celebrate Sandy's life at a Memorial Service on Wednesday, June 18th, at Layton Avenue Baptist Church (9600 W Layton Ave, Greenfield, WI 53228) . Visitation will begin at 4:00 PM, followed by a service at 5:00 PM. Interment will take place the following morning, Thursday, June 19th, at Arlington Park Cemetery ( 4141 S 27 ^th Street, Greenfield, WI 53221) , at 10:00 AM. For those unable to attend in person but wish to view the church service, please reach out to the immediate family for a streaming option. We find comfort in the promise of Revelation 21:4: "He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." Sandy's life reflected this faith-filled hope, and now she rests in peace—free from pain, embraced by Eternal Love.
