In Memoriam: Longtime Rumsonite & Tennis Champ, Sandy Fox Seman, 87

Longtime Rumsonite and tennis champ, Alexandra “Sandy” Fox Seman, passed away peacefully on Feb. 12.

Born Sept. 27, 1935 in Manhattan, NY and raised in Rumson, Sandy was a graduate of Rumson Country Day School, Miss Porter’s, and Vassar College.

“An avid tennis player, she taught at the Shrewsbury Racquet Club and was the longest standing member (1942-2021) of the Seabright Lawn Tennis and Cricket Club in Rumson. Her tennis accolades are too numerous to mention but her name covers many plaques on the club walls, starting from the Girls’ Championship to Club Champion. In her final years, although not playing anymore, there was nothing she enjoyed more than to watch from the porch,
The Prentiss/Seabright Cups as well as
the junior players participating
in her lifelong passion.”
