Sandra Linhares Obituary
Born and raised in Attleboro, MA, she was the daughter of the late Ernest and Priscilla (Walsh) Petit. Sandy was a graduate of Attleboro High School and spent much of her working years in various roles in the medical field. Sandy loved to laugh and was always smiling. In her younger years, she enjoyed watching and cheering on her two sons play sports. Later in life she moved to California and enjoyed spending her time by the beach.
Sandy is survived by her two sons, Jonathan Linhares and his partner Laila of Garden Grove, CA, Jared Linhares and his wife Brooke of Attleboro, MA, and granddaughter Peyton Linhares, her latest pride and joy. She was the oldest of four children and survived by her siblings, Steven Petit and his wife Renee, Michael Petit and his partner Dina, and Linda Travers and her partner Kevin.
In lieu of services, the family will be holding a private life celebration at a later date. Memorial cards are available by reaching out to the family at [email protected].

God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. My name is Samira (Sammy) Sandoval And I was one of her caregivers. Sandy was a very intelligent and very strong woman. She would always tell me how she loved her sons and she would pray every day. I myself would open up to her and we would talk about many many things. She was not only my client, but I considered her as a good friend. I will miss you Sandy may you be at peace now

Sandy was a childhood friend. My memories of her are fond and loving. She was kind and loyal. On occasion I would get a call to come and play at her house. I had to tip toe by the mean chihuahua in order to get there. Many times I was chased home and didn´t make it. But it was always a challenge and when we did get together, we had lots of girl fun. Been many years, but I´ll always remember her with the same fondness and love. Rest my friend!

I am so sorry to hear of Sandy's passing. She and I were friends on Facebook because of our medical challenges. She was such an advocate and an inspiration to others encouraging us to keep exercising for our health. She will be missed!

I didn´t know Sandra in person. She started a COPD group that I belong to, and through that she helped so many people. She was an inspiration in her fight for good health. She will be misses by our COPD community.
