Indra Lee Santana, age 59 of San Antonio, TX passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving wife, extended family and closest friends, which considered family.

Born on September 14, 1966, in New York, she was a dedicated wife, daughter, mother, and grandmother, as well as a proud military veteran, and a hero as an organ donor.

A life of service and love, Indra was a proud veteran of the U. S. Army. The disciple and patriotism she learned in the military remained with her throughout her life, as she was a lifelong supporter of military families, and veterans.

After her military service, Indra adopted her daughter’s and built a life dedicated to her family. She married her love of 30 years in 2023. She was a devoted homemaker and worked for the Department of Defense for many years.

A woman of many talents, Indra enjoyed gardening, dance and most memorably was an excellent cook. Known for showing love to all she would provide a home cooked meal with a Puerto Rican flair to friends, family, and even people she just met.

She was especially loved for her role as MaMa to her children and her children’s friends.

She is survived by her loving wife, Carol Renee Santana, her children, Jacob Michael Priddy, Jasmine Hope, Simone Grace, and Joshua David, Santana. Grandchildren, Jacob Ares and Zander Nyle Priddy, and Vivian Rose Hairston; her mother, Stephanie Gonzalez, and her fur babies Duchess and Bella.

Indra was preceded in death by her father, Armando Santana and her beloved Dachshund, Daisy.

As a final act of generosity, in keeping with her generous spirit, Indra gave the gift of life through organ, eye, and tissue donation.

Indra’s passion will continue to live on as her selfless gifts saved and healed the lives of many others with her exceedingly rare blood type.

The family requests donations be made to Human Rights Campaign or local Veteran’s organizations, both of which she had a deep passion for.
