Sandra Jean Konaszewski

Sandra Jean (Guse) Konaszewski, 77, of Crystal Lake, passed away on June 20, 2026.

Sandy graduated from Jacobs High School in Lake in the Hills and went on to work as a computer programmer. She met her future husband, Eugene Konaszewski, at the Bowl-Hi bowling alley in Huntley. The two were married in 1970, and Sandra lovingly embraced Gene's children as her own.

Sandy was easygoing, fun-loving, and never had a mean bone in her body. She was organized, always on top of things, and enjoyed spending time with family and friends. A true people person, Sandy loved going out to lunch, traveling, especially to Door County, and fishing with Gene. One of her favorite traditions was traveling to Chicago each year for Christmas cookie baking day with her sisters-in-law.

Sandy is survived by her sons, Kenneth Konaszewski (Trish) and Eugene Konaszewski Jr. (Sharon); her grandchildren, Felicia, Jake, Jimmy, Amy, Melissa, and Freddie; and her sister, Sharon.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Gene Konaszewski; her daughter, Susan McBride; and her parents, Alfred and Norma Guse.

A visitation will be held on Thursday, June 25, from 10 a.m. until the time of a service at 12 noon at Davenport Family Funeral Home and Crematory, 419 E. Terra Cotta Ave., Crystal Lake. Burial will follow at Windridge Memorial Park in Cary.
