Aurora J. Sandoval
Sunrise: July 16, 1931 – Sunset: February 25, 2026
Aurora J. Sandoval was a devoted mother of ten and is survived by six of her beloved children. An immigrant and proud patriot, she built her life in America through resilience, sacrifice, and determination. She worked in a factory for over 40 years to ensure her children would have opportunities she never had.
Through her strength and unwavering work ethic, she helped her children and grandchildren achieve the American dream — home ownership, college educations, and the freedom of self-determination. Aurora wrote her own American story, one defined by perseverance, dignity, and fierce love for her family.
Her legacy lives on in the generations she uplifted and the foundation she built with her hands and her heart.
