Sandra L (Innis) Feeney, 81, of South Peabody and formerly of Beverly, died peacefully Monday morning after she bravely faced the challenges of Alzheimer’s disease, at the Bear Mountain Nursing Home in Reading. She was the devoted wife of the late Kenneth Feeney with whom she shared 50 years of marriage.

Born in Danvers, she was the daughter of the late George and Laura (Weldon) Innis. She was raised and educated in Beverly and was a graduate of Beverly High School, class of 1960.

Sandra worked at Peck and Peck, a clothing store in Peabody across from the former Warren Five Cents Savings Bank where she met the love of her life, Kenneth Feeney and upon their marriage in 1961, she moved to South Peabody where she has resided for the past 62 years.

Sandra taught CCD at St. Ann’s Church in Peabody for over 39 years and later was a receptionist at the former Grosvenor Park Nursing Home in Salem for 8 years before finally retiring. She volunteered for many years for My Brothers Table and delivered food and other necessities for many shut-ins in Peabody and North Shore area.

Sandra loved traveling throughout the country and the world, as Haiti and Israel were her favorite destinations among others including Portugal, Greece, Ireland and Florence Italy. She enjoyed the distinct cultures, foods, and the people there. She loved the water, whether being in her backyard pool entertaining her family and many friends or enjoying a day at the beach with them as well. Sandra was always active and never sat still, she would always be doing something for someone! Her home was always an open house for friends, family and extended families. Everyone was welcomed at 16 Bowen at any time of the day and there would be soup, spaghetti sauce or brownies going! She will be dearly missed by all.

Sandra is survived by her three loving children, Christine and her husband Joseph Breslow of Lynnfield, Sean and his wife Amy of NC, and Suzanne and her husband Brian O’Connor of Wareham, her beloved grandchildren, Sarah and Paul Breslow, Lily Ramsay, Aiden and Gavin O’Connor, and Jake, Josh and Luke Covington, her brother and sisters- in-law, Bruce and Patricia Innis of Beverly, and Sandra Innis of Peabody, her brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, Jack and Janelle Feeney of SC, Beverly and John Moustakis of Salem, and Malcolm Hayes of NH, and Christopher Ramsay of Wareham, and is also survived by many nieces, nephews and dear friends. She was predeceased by her siblings, George Innis and Linda Hayes, and by her sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law, Linda and Philip Mahoney, and George and Rae Feeney.
