Annie Santos, M.D. Obituary

Annie Marie Santos was a loving mother and sister, dedicated physician, and an incredibly generous soul. She passed away suddenly on June 24th, at the age of 67.
She was born to Ignacia and Francisco Santos in Hagatna, Guam, on January 19th, 1954, and was one of five children, including Frank, Marie, Tony, and Felix Santos. After losing her parents at a young age, she decided to pursue a career in medicine, starting in Guam, and eventually, Honolulu, Hawaii. In Honolulu, she and her then-husband, Rexford Reynolds, had their only child, Adrienne Santos Reynolds. Shortly thereafter, the three moved to Lodi, California.
It was here where she practiced medicine for the next 29 years, even opening up her own practice, specializing in family medicine and women's health, helping countless mothers in the delivery room, and eventually finding her true passion, hospice care and home health.
Annie was vivacious and loved life. She loved dancing, spending her time with friends and family, and was a lifelong learner. Her favorite flowers were gladiolas.
She is survived by her daughter, Adrienne; her son-in-law, Brian Holman; Adrienne's father, Rexford Reynolds; her brother, Frank Santos and his wife Soledad; as well as a great number of cousins, nieces and nephews.
There will be a viewing at the Vineyard Chapel at Cherokee Memorial on Tuesday, July 6th, from 1:00-4:00pm, and there will be a Rosary service at the Vineyard Chapel at 2:30pm. The service memorializing her life will be held on Wednesday, July 7th, at 10:00am, at the Vineyard Chapel. Additionally, there will be a mass held at St. Anne's Catholic Church at 1:00pm on Wednesday, July 7th. There will also be a livestream for the service - details for the livestream to be announced.
In lieu of flowers the family asks that a donation be made to Hospice of San Joaquin in her name.

For my part I was shocked to hear of Dr. Annie Marie Santos sudden and recent passing and very sad as well. She helped me to navigate a back injury to victory in 2002, has remained my personal physician since then and has got me through some major hurdles and kept me in good health. I consider her not just my physician but also a good friend. She will be missed greatly by myself and many but I take comfort in knowing her love for the Lord Jesus and her strong relationship with Him . I know she will be in my future . My prayers go out to the family, friends and all her other patients.

My husband and I are so sorry to hear of Dr. Santos's passing. We were both patients and were shocked and saddened to hear of this. Dr. Santos was also my grandmother's doctor at the end of her life years ago.
