Sandra Lutz Slavin

Sandra Lutz Slavin,

of Indianapolis, age 82, passed away peacefully at home on July 2, 2019. She was born in Normal, Illinois and moved to Indianapolis at age 4. Sandi attended Indiana University where she met her husband of 44 years, Melvin Slavin. He proceeded her in death in 2001, along with her parents, Jacob and Goldie; brothers, Robert and David; and sister, Betsy.

She felt very strongly about volunteering and civic duties. She was extremely active in various organizations. She was a local Hadassah Chapter President, a Regional Vice President and traveled often for Hadassah helping to set up new chapters. She was also chairman of the Young Chairman Division of the Jewish Welfare Federation and recipient of their Young Leadership Award. She was on the board of Jewish Family and Children Services and a frequent volunteer at Hooverwood Center.

She loved all sports but especially Indiana University Basketball and the Indianapolis Colts. She enjoyed duplicate bridge at the Indianapolis Bridge Center where she was honored to receive the Fran Pettijohn Award and was a Gold Life Master.

She is survived by her children, Jill, Todd and Jay Slavin; and six grandchildren.

As Sandi wished, there will be a private (for family members only) graveside service.

In lieu of flowers, please make a donation of your choosing to Hadassah or the Ronald McDonald House.
