Sandra Colbert Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Cypress Lawn Funeral Home & Memorial Park from Jan. 7 to Jan. 8, 2021.
Sandra L.Colbert was born to the late Dorthy M. Fisher and James A, Fisher Sr., in San Francisco, CA.



Sandra attended Mission High and later graduated from Heald College as a computer specialist. Sandra retired from Bank of America after 35 years. She was the first African American women in her department. She enjoyed sports especially tennis. Her passion was cooking, she could make a mean Gumbo. Everyone enjoyed her cooking; it was her way of keeping the family together. Our favorite times were the holidays. Sandra was a quiet sweet very private person. Never had a bad thing to say about anyone. She will truly be missed.



She leaves to mourn her partner of 44 years Micheal V. Nelson, One brother James A. Fisher Jr. Linda Fisher of Atlanta GA. One sister Jacqueline Fisher of San Francisco, CA two nephews Eric J. Fishe of Atlanta GA David J. Fisher of Pacifica, CA One niece Tamesha D. Scott of San Francisco, CA one great nephew Richard M.Douglas of San Francisco CA two great nieces Camya Calloway, LLorynn Gage both of San Francisco, CA and a host of uncles, aunts and friends.



A special thanks to Dena Hernandez and Ricardo Hernandez for all their love and support.
