Sandra Dee Whitaker, "Sandee", a longtime resident of Mercer Island, died Wednesday the 9th of April at home, surrounded by those who loved her.
Sandee was born in 1947 in Seattle, WA to Dr. Bert and Dee Banks. She attended elementary through high school at The Bush School and then continued her education, graduating from the University of California at Santa Barbara.
Sandee loved spending time with her family and friends. She was a member of the Seattle Tennis Club, and the Sunset Club. Her friendships were long and deep. Her real love was her family, as was evident on her face every time she looked at her grandkids.
She is survived by the love of her life, Bill Whitaker. Bill and Sandee met while lifeguarding at Groveland Park Beach on Mercer Island in 1968 and were married upon Bills return from Vietnam in 1970. They have two children, Corinne Whitaker Johanson and her family Bryan, Ainsley (11) and Mason (9), and Stacey Whitaker and her daughter Callie Corinne (4). She is also survived by her brothers, Larry and Peter Banks and their families. She is loved deeply and forever.
Donations in lieu of flowers may be sent to Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, P.O. Box 19023, Seattle WA 98109-1023. Checks may be made payable to SCCA with indication that they are in memory of Sandee Whitaker.
Sandee will be laid to rest at Sunset Hills, the location where both her parents are at rest as well.
A private Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
