Mary B. Binder

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Mary Beth Binder on December 31st, 2024, at the age of 69. 

Mary passed away unexpectedly in her sleep on New Years Eve in her family home. Born on May 23rd, 1955, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, she was the daughter of Ralph Sajkowski Sr. and Elayne Sajkowski (Golner). Mary was a devoted wife, mother, dog-grandmother, sister, friend, and volunteer who brought wit, excitement, encouragement, and kindness to all who knew and met her. 

She is survived by her loving husband Lawrence Binder, her children Joseph Binder and Allison (Ali) Binder (her wife, Tori), and her siblings (Ralph Sajkowski Jr., Anne Guetersohn, and Paul Sajowski). She was preceded in death by her parents Ralph and Elayne. Mary was known for her generosity and kindness, and love of swimming, volunteering, and spending time with loved ones. She reached a vast community of others through her career as a Project Manager/IT Specialist and her volunteer work with St. Matthias Parish, St. Alphonsus Parish, St. Thomas More High School, and many more.

A visitation will be held for Mary on Thursday (1/9) from 4pm to 6pm at Max A. Sass & Sons at 8910 W. Drexel Ave, Franklin, WI 53132, with a religious service taking place from 6pm to 7pm. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to St. Jude's Children's Hospital in her memory. Her memory will be forever cherished by those who knew and loved her.
