Sandra JoEllen Petrino's Obituary
Our mom, Sandra J. Tronset Ness Petrino passed away January 21, 2016. Born April 27,1944 in Tacoma to Norwegian parents Martin and Alice (Hogfoss) Tronset, Sandy was fiercely proud of her Norwegian heritage. Mom enjoyed gardening, was very talented at sewing, needle point and other crafts. She enjoyed reading and watching murder/mystery shows. She loved all animals but was especially fond of dogs and cats.
Mom is survived by her two loving and caring daughters Kim (Mike) Osterman and Cindy (Vince) Storm, grandchildren Kris Jr., Andrew and Adam Martonik and Katie, Martin and Emma Storm, uncle Floyd (Marcie) Tronset and numerous cousins. She was preceded in death by her parents, brother Michael, sister-in-law Deanna and niece Kristi (Will) Taylor.
At moms request a private family gathering will be held at a later date.
Any remembrances may be made to Gloria Dei Lutheran Church or the charity of your choice.
Sandy and her family would like to thank the staff of Multicare: Tacoma General Hospital, Palliative Care and Home Hospice. Everyone we encountered was kind, caring, compassionate and respectful.
