MADISON - Sandra Schreiber Fulbright of Madison, Wis., passed away peacefully at Agrace HospiceCare on July 31, 2025. Sandy was born in Monona on October 29, 1954, to Richard and Joanne (Olson) Schreiber. She grew up being picked on by her older brother, Rick, who sadly also passed away recently. We imagine Rick has now resumed picking on her, and that Sandy is giving it right back.

Sandy was known as “our fun Aunt” by her niece and nephew, Courtney and Nick. They particularly remember cruising around with her in her hot red convertible and hanging out at her house for her 4th of July fireworks celebrations. The rest of Sandy’s family have fond memories and extra pounds from her Christmas baking marathons, after which she made the rounds distributing an assortment of goods that would have made the finest bakeries envious.

Sandy was later joined in making and sharing these Christmas delights by her husband, Bill Fulbright, whom she married on July 6, 1995. Their wedding reception was a Country and Western affair, and over their 30 years of traveling across the country, Nashville and Branson were among their favorite destinations.

After graduation from Monona Grove High School in 1972, Sandy began a 40-year career at Methodist Hospital, starting out in the mailroom and working into a managerial position as Methodist merged with and became Meriter. More recently, Sandy had too frequently been a patient at Meriter, living with a rare genetic disorder that created many physical challenges that she, with Bill’s support, lived with and surmounted, without complaint.

Bill will miss Sandy beyond what words can express. Her family and friends will miss her wonderful sense of humor, her love and kindness to others, and her teaching us how to live with courage, determination, and joy, regardless of what life may throw at us.

Thanks and deepest gratitude to Sandy’s long-time physician, Dr. Elizabeth George, and her staff, to the many specialists who cared for her over the years, to the caring and skillful nursing staff and physicians at Meriter Hospital, and to the staff at Agrace who helped her on her way at the end of her journey.

A graveside farewell will be held at ROSELAWN MEMORIAL PARK, 401 Femrite Drive, Monona, at 10 a.m. on August 11, 2025.
