Today, we celebrate the life of a truly extraordinary woman-a beloved mother, cherished Nani, devoted sister, and faithful friend. She was the heart of her family, a woman whose love knew no bounds and whose kindness touched everyone blessed enough to know her.

She dedicated her life to caring for those she loved, always putting the needs of her family before her own. Her home was filled with warmth, comfort, and unconditional love. As a mother, she guided with wisdom and compassion. As a Nani, she filled the lives of her grandchildren with joy, laughter, and treasured memories that will live on forever. As a sister, she was a source of strength, encouragement, and unwavering support.

Above all, she was a God-fearing woman whose faith was the foundation of her life. She faithfully walked with the Lord and reflected His love through her actions every day. Her gentle spirit, generous heart, and countless acts of kindness were a shining example of God's grace. She was a blessing to everyone she met, and through her, many experienced the light and love of Christ.

Her legacy is one of faith, love, sacrifice, and devotion. Though our hearts are broken by her passing, we find comfort in knowing that her beautiful spirit lives on in the lives she touched and in the family she loved so deeply.

She is lovingly survived by her devoted partner, Zef, who stood by her side through life's joys and challenges with unwavering love and support; her children, Sam, Emma, and Melissa, who were the pride of her life and the recipients of her endless love and guidance; her grandchildren, Jazae, Lexy, Samuel, Jonathan, Madalynne, and Thomas, who knew her as their beloved Nani and were blessed by her unconditional love, wisdom, and gentle spirit; her brothers, Tommy, Lonnie (Dorothy), Andy (Shayland), and Rick (Angie), and her sisters, Jane and Helen, whose lifelong bond, love, and support meant so much to her; her cherished friends, Rosa and Tiffany, whose friendship brought joy and companionship to her life; as well as many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends who will forever cherish her memory.

She was preceded in death by her father, Thomas Sandoval; her mother, Aurora Sandoval; her brother, Joe Sandoval; her sister, Judy Vasquez; her nieces, Baby Alycia, Julie Vasquez, Ami Iverson and Joann Lumbrera; and her nephew, Lawerence Vasquez.

She will be forever missed, forever cherished, and forever remembered as one of God's most precious gifts. Her love remains in our hearts, and her light will continue to shine through the generations she leaves behind.
