Sandra “Sandi” Broeker, who blessed this world with her presence on January 17, 1942, in Peoria, Illinois, gracefully left us on November 28,2024, at the age of 82. Sandi was a treasure to all who knew her, drawing people near with her loving nature. Sandi never knew a stranger. She possessed a strong-willed spirit, fiercely navigating life with courage and zest – a true force of nature who made her family and friends stronger and braver just by being herself. She was a very proud Mom, Grandma/Grammie and Great Grammie. She would tell whoever would listen how proud she was of her kids, grandkids, great grandkids, and of course her animals.

She is survived by her son Mark D. (Kelly) Broeker, Grandson Zachary (Lilith) Broeker, Granddaughter Kayla (Ryan) Burns, Great Grandson Julian, Great Granddaughter Harper, and many other family and friends.

She is proceeded in death by her Mother, Grace Hamm; Father, Abraham Dodsworth; Stepfather, Oliver Hamm; Brother; Steven Dodsworth; Husband David Broeker and Son, Michel Broeker.

A celebration of life will be held January 18th.
