Sandra Davidson Obituary
March 16, 1962 - December 11, 2020
Resident of San Jose
Our beloved Sandra passed over to peace and joy after a brief illness. A native of Willow Glen in San Jose, she attended River Glen Elementary, Markham Junior High and Willow Glen High School. Later, she earned a bachelor's degree from Mills College in Oakland, majoring in Women's Studies and Philanthropy.
Sandra (Sandy to some) never met a stranger, and showed her vivacious personality to all she met. A serious Rock 'n Roller, she went to hundreds of concerts from the mid '70s onward. Often found rocking out in the front row of The Who.
Sandra dabbled in concert promotion and journalism, interviewing the likes of The Police and Oingo Boingo. She was active behind the scenes and a Board member of San Jose Stage Company, and an avid fan of Opera San Jose.
A lifelong animal lover, she became a devout vegetarian in her teens. Sandra loved reading, movies and science-fiction (especially the original Star Trek). Most of all, her greatest loves were her six nieces and nephews: Lillian, Savannah, Gabriella, Gavin, Billy and Stella.
Additionally, she leaves behind her parents, Charles and Anita, her brother Bill and sister-in-law Lila, both of Orlando, Florida, and sister Stephanie. As well as many life long and devoted friends.
Sandra was an incredibly loving, deeply spiritual person, devoted to the environment and her kindness to all living creatures was unwavering.
Anyone wishing to make a donation in her honor should make it to the Humane Society of Silicon Valley or their favorite charity.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always. In the 1980’s, worked at the same place, San Jose airport, she was so much fun, I remember us going out to nightclubs (country western) and never did a bouncers asked for her ID ? Because she was so gorgeous and beautiful, I remember walking the walkway and cowboys standing up and tipping their hats as she walked by, I was so neverous that my knees were knocking ! Like someone said if u were her friend, U were her friend, I remember going to a nightclub, she saw me, came straight to me to say Hi, but a minute later a kid came to me and said careful, she’s my sister, I kind laughed to myself, thinking “yea right” now 40 yeas later, I find out it was her brother !!!
