Sandra L. Basciano 1952-2025

Sandi was born July 4, 1952, in Youngstown. She attended St. Anthony Church and elementary school. She graduated from Ursuline High School Class of 1970 and received her hairdresser’s license from Lewis Weinberger and Hill Academy of Cosmetology.

She was a professional hairdresser and ran a successful beauty salon on Liberty Street in Girard for 33 years. When she retired and sold her business she went to work at Liberty Arms Assisted Living, where she continued to care for some of her former clients.

Sandi had lifelong friends who were also co-workers with her at her salon. They all took part in fundraising events in the community, provided volunteer service to St. Anthony and St. Rose churches, and to various other animal charities throughout her career.

Father John Chrysostom Kozlowski, O.P., pastor of St. Rose Church, will say her memorial Mass 9:30 a.m. Saturday, July 19, 2025.

There are no calling hours and the family will greet friends after Mass.

Sandi shared her life with George Glasser and their constant companion, Buddy.

They enjoyed years of travel and retirement together between Florida and Ohio.

Sandi will be missed by George’s family: Karyn and Tom Matey, Kim Matey, Kristin Glasser and Jim Marling, along with all of the friends they have made in their Florida golf community.
