Patty Kazmaier Sandt ’86

AFTER A LONG struggle with illness, Patricia Kazmaier Sandt died Feb. 15, 1990, in Philadelphia.

Patty will long be remembered by her family, classmates, teachers, coaches, and friends, for her long list of achievements as a scholar and athlete during her relatively short life. The birth of her daughter in May 1989, after a difficult pregnancy, was her last and most vital accomplishment.

At Middlesex School, Patty distinguished herself as an outstanding woman athlete. She played ice hockey, was chosen as co-captain of her field hockey team, and was named to the New England All-Star lacrosse team. Patty also performed in theater productions and was co-editor and publisher of the school's literary magazine.

Patty earned an A.B. in religion from Princeton in 1986. She was an outstanding defenseman in women's ice hockey, earning a varsity letter four years, participating on three Ivy League championship teams, and earning several All-Ivy honors and an All-E.C.A.C. honor as a senior.

One of Patty's teachers described her: "Patty is beautifully in touch with a lot of things in her life; she participates willingly and positively, and her sensitivity and warmth are both unique and uplifting."

In addition to her husband, Mark; and her daughter, Serena; Patty leaves her parents, Richard '52 and Patricia Kazmaier; and her sisters, Michele Kazmaier, Kimberly Eakin '77, Susan Kazmaier '81, Kathy Donnelly, and Kristen Kazmaier.

Contributions can be made in Patty's memory to Princeton University.
